NCAA Football Cover Vote Announces Eight Finalists
January 23, in the year of our Lord 2013 –
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 can’t rest now as their
teams edge closer to taking it all.
Below are the schools advancing into the
round of eight:

which will be representing their respective schools on Facebook.
Fans should check back daily as the biggest names in college
football are unveiled, all in the hopes of securing the cover
for their alma mater. Athlete-specific voting will begin on
Monday, February 4th and continue until Monday, February 18th,
at which point the field will be cut to four.
