After two years in the Big 12 basement, the Cowboys are back to being among the most talented teams in the league … at least according to a video game.

EA Sports has released its team rankings for the College Football 27 video game that is set to release worldwide on July 9. The Cowboys are tied with Houston for the third-highest overall rating among Big 12 schools.

Team	Overall	Offense	Defense
Texas Tech	87	85	90
BYU	86	86	86
Houston	83	85	80
Oklahoma State	83	85	81
Arizona	82	82	82
Arizona State	81	78	83
Colorado	81	81	82
Kansas State	81	83	80
UCF	81	82	80
Utah	81	83	78
TCU	80	81	78
Baylor	79	78	80
Cincinnati	79	80	77
West Virginia	78	81	76
Iowa State	77	77	77
Kansas	77	77	77

There are only 20 teams in the country with an overall rating above 83, while the Cowboys and Cougars are two of nine teams with an overall rating of 83.

So, the folks at EA think the Cowboys are somewhere among the Top 30 teams in the country, a placing many OSU fans would likely take given the Cowboys have won no conference games in the past two seasons.

The game developers seem particularly intrigued with the OSU offense, and who wouldn’t be? The Cowboys added the play-caller (Eric Morris), quarterback (Drew Mestemaker) and running back (Caleb Hawkins) from last season’s nation-leading offense. There are only 16 offenses in the game rated higher than the Cowboys’.

Here are the Top 10 teams in the country, according to the game:

Team	Overall	Offense	Defense
Oregon	91	91	91
Ohio State	90	92	88
Indiana	90	90	90
Notre Dame	89	88	90
Texas	89	90	88
LSU	88	89	87
Miami	88	90	86
Ole Miss	88	88	87
Georgia	87	85	89
Oklahoma	87	87	88
