The first round of the voting for the NCAA Football 14 Cover Vote has now completed with 32 schools making it to the second round. EA SPORTS provided an update during halftime of last night's BCS National Championship Game.
Among the 32 qualifying schools, college football powerhouses such as Stanford, Oregon, LSU, and Texas A&M jumped out to large leads alongside Notre Dame. Schools such as Kentucky, Penn State, and West Virginia, which saw considerable support from their fan base, will also continue on to the next round. USC made a late charge over the weekend, jumping into the top 32.
The polls for Round 2 will open on Wednesday, January 9th and voting will continue on the NCAA Football Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/easportsncaafootball?ref=stream&__req=3u).
Below is the full breakdown of the 32 teams that did make it along with their ranking. As well, there is a breakdown of how the voting process will continue until on March 8th when the voting is finished.

Vote totals reset after each round, so the only way fans can be sure their team continues to advance is to keep voting. Anything can happen now that the tallies are back at zero, so enthusiasts are encouraged to not only vote in the main Facebook poll, but also support their school in the secondary polls which appear daily.
This has proven to already be the most successful NCAA Football Cover Vote yet, as it has reached more than 32 million fans and garnered more than 144 million impressions on Facebook. With 8 weeks remaining in the competition, college football enthusiasts are already coming out in droves in the hopes of landing their team on the cover of the next edition of NCAA Football.
