The EA Sports Madden player ratings are as popular as anything in the video game world. But what would today’s college stars rate in a college football version? Here are the top 10 in the Pac-12.

PAC-12 WEEK: Predictions for every Pac-12 team | Top five MVP candidates | Five best position groups | Five freshmen to watch | Coach report | Players in need of bounceback seasons

1. DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon

The best edge rusher in the country and possibly the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft next year has to be in the elite 99 club.

*****  

2. LB Drake Jackson, USC

Despite a few issues adjusting to linebacker, his ability off the edge and athleticism make him a terror in the game.

*****  

3. QB Kedon Slovis, USC

I like Slovis better than most and think he’s a legit first-round talent and a potential franchise guy in any game.

*****  

4. QB Jayden Daniels, Arizona State

Daniels is efficient and won’t make a ton of mistakes. Running with him in a video game would be fun.

*****  

5. LB Devin Lloyd, Utah

A sure tackler and a steady and smart player, he’d be one of the leading tacklers in any video game.

*****  

6. CB Trent McDuffie, Washington

He’s instinctive and aggressive, but he has good recovery speed as well.

*****  

7. WR Drake London, USC

This rating might be low based on his potential and ceiling with that frame and catch radius.

*****  

8. RB Max Borghi, Washington State

He’s a do-everything guy who is hard to get a hit on and carries the offense.

*****  

9. OL Jaxson Kirkland, Washington 

He could be the best offensive lineman you’ve never heard of, and this could be a very low ranking. We will see.

*****

10. CB Mykael Wright, Oregon 

He’s somewhat long and very explosive. He's fast and has elite ball skills.
