The NCAA Football Cover Vote has reached the Sweet Sixteen. The next round of voting will run January 16-22 to determine the Elite Eight.

The top 16 features: Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Navy, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, and Wisconsin.

The Alabama Crimson Tide led all schools in voting during the most recent round of the NCAA Football Cover Vote. With nearly 10,000 more votes than its nearest competitor, Alabama proved just as dominant in the Cover Vote as it did in the BCS National Championship Game, taking the number one overall slot and positioning itself strongly heading into the next round.

The Crimson Tide jumped from 17th last round to first, showing impressive fan support as they move one step closer to securing the cover. Voting for the round of eight opens tomorrow on the NCAA Football Facebook page, and fans are encouraged to continue supporting their favorite school. Vote totals have reset, so it’s anyone’s race. Will Navy continue to shock the polls with their continued support, or will they fall behind against some of the nation’s biggest powerhouses?
