NCAA FOOTBALL COVER VOTE ANNOUNCES EIGHT FINALISTS
Potential Cover Athletes to be Revealed in the Next Week
Today, EA SPORTS announced the eight finalists for the NCAA Football Cover Vote. Alabama carried over its momentum from last round, once again securing the most support and leading the way with more than 60,000 votes. Michigan and Texas A&M have closed the gap however, as voting went down to the final minutes to determine who would take the top spot. With more than 1.7 million votes cast so far across both the primary poll as well as the smaller secondary polls, college football fans have shown tremendous devotion to their favorite teams and that passion will only intensify as the stakes get higher with the final goal in sight.
Voting for the next round begins today on the NCAA Football Facebook page, in an effort to trim the eight schools to four. Vote totals have been reset, so fans canít rest now as their teams edge closer to taking it all.
Below are the schools advancing into the round of eight:
- Texas A&M
- Ohio State
- Notre Dame
- Florida State
