Maybe "winners" is too strong a word because right now all they've "won" is the right to represent their school on the cover should their school win the
NCAA Football 14 cover vote.
The eight athletes and their respective schools are: Eddie Lacy (Alabama), E.J. Manuel (Florida State), Jarvis Jones (Georgia), Denard Robinson (Michigan), Tyler Eifert (Notre Dame), John Simon (Ohio State), Kenjon Barner (Oregon), Ryan Swope (Texas A&M).
There are now two ways to vote. You can either "like" the image of the player or vote for your favorite school just like before. You can do both of those as the
NCAA Football Facebook page. This round of voting will continue until February 18th.

With the addition of players to the Cover Vote, there are now new ways for fans to show their support. For the duration of this round a series of posts showcasing the athletes and their schools will appear on the
NCAA Football Facebook page. In order to vote for the player, fans must “like” the image, which in turn registers one vote for the athlete. Fans can also continue to vote for their favorite university through the school polls that are posted on the
NCAA Football Facebook page.
Quarterfinal round voting is now open, and will continue through Monday, February 18th when
EA SPORTS announces the athletes and schools that have advanced to the semifinal round. The Cover Vote is being conducted exclusively on the NCAA Football Facebook page and fans are encouraged to “like” the page in order to vote for their favorite potential cover athlete.
