Well...I cast my vote for Mark Ingram. Though I'm not a fan of Fairley's sportsmanship....he's without a doubt a dominate force.....part of me wants to see the big guy make it on the cover...

I voted Ingram...has the best pedigree of the four with a Heisman Trophy.

Pretty sure. Locker was on Mike & Mike this morning and they discussed it, guessing First Take will have some of the other candidates.

I voted for Murray. Like I said in the other thread, that's simply based on my own personal unreasonable feelings towards SEC teams & Washington at the moment. I think in reality Ingram will and SHOULD be on the cover but I just can't bring myself to vote for him because he played for Nick Saban in the SEC.

Again, I acknowledge that it's an unreasonable & ridiculous opinion but there it is. :D

Being a South Carolina fan, there's no way I can vote for a Bama or Auburn player. Murray has no shot IMO. My vote is for Jake Locker.

Being a Michigan fan, I don't really care.

I guess Ingram, he is from Michigan...?

Fairley - I just want a defensive player on the cover.

That's why I wish Peterson was a choice.

Von Miller would have been a good choice.

I have no clue how Locker got into this vote.

I'd be surprised if Ingram or Murray doesn't win this vote. This stuff turns on which school has the largest/most organized fan bases. I get the impression that Auburn is the "red headed step child" in Alabama (much like Louisville is in KY as an example).

My gut tells me Alabama has a larger/more organized fan base than Oklahoma.

Should punish Murray for leaking the story by not voting for him...plus he played for Oklahoma.

Ingram, I would like a Defensive player just not Fairley.

Ingram is the most logical choice. It's possible that a guy like Patrick Peterson has already been picked as one of the cover athletes, and these are for the 2nd cover, whichever it may be. Apparently the pre release cover is just purely a hint at defense being a key component in this years dev cycle.

My question is... Why isn't Patrick Peterson the defensive part of this group, assuming he's not already a cover athlete pick. Fairley has the rep of a dirty player, and you wouldn't think that EA would even want him as a choice for their cover athlete. I am shocked.

Locker... just because of LAST YEAR. He played some amazing ball last season. Let's hope this past season was a one off...:up:

I abstain, courteously (10 points to anyone who gets that reference) because the NCAA Football App wants to view my personal information ... and I don't roll like that.

The winner will be the cover athlete. It's only these four candidates. No shenanigans. ;)

Show off who you want to the rest of the forum. Edit your profile and at the bottom, you'll see an option to select who you want. That will add a tag to your quick-profile to the left of your posts. Let us know any feedback but it's just a little something I whipped up.

I want to say that is from 1776...
As for me, I don't now which way I will be going with my vote. Maybe I should just vote for the player that will look best on the Dev Team t-shirt that's made at the end of the project. :P

FSU vs. Alabama is 1-2
FSU vs. Auburn is 4-13-1
FSU vs. Oklahoma is 1-5
FSU has never played Washington.

I think Locker gets your vote by default. :P

I voted but never shared my two cents...

DeMarco Murray - Great player and an all-time great for one of the top programs in college football.

Nick Fairley - Great player who stepped up on the biggest stage, the BCS National Championship Game

Jake Locker - Embodies college football, stayed all four years and led his team from a winless season to a bowl victory his senior season. I think he loses some luster given some poor showings his senior season as well as backlash from ESPN 'experts' still proclaiming him a top notch QB despite those horrible outings.

Mark Ingram - Had an average senior season, but helped lead the Tide to the 2010 title and was very humble in winning the Heisman that season. I think his attitude and spirit place him as a great ambassador for college football. Given his accomplishments on and off the field, he gets my vote but I like all four of these guys.

I voted Jake Locker, but I'm not a fan of any of the choices - he's just the lesser of the 4 evils, in my opinion. Fairley played for Auburn and is possibly one of the dirtiest players I've ever witnessed. Mark Ingram played for Bama - enough said. Demarco Murray played for OU - enough said. :D

Ingram. Jake Locker is a bum. He sucked last year and he will suck in the NFL. I expect Ponder and Stanzi to have better careers than Locker.

It's on the official UFC youtube channel so I assume they put it together.
