Top Oregon Ducks who could be featured on EA Sports College Football 27 cover It's fun to think about which Oregon Ducks could be on the cover in the future. When considering candidates, there is a tight needle to thread. You need to find someone who produces on the field and is also returning for another year in 2026. That whittles down the list quite a bit for the Ducks, but there are still some prime players who could very well be on the cover next year. Here's our best guess as to who could earn the honor: Top Oregon Ducks who could be featured on EA Sports College Football 27 cover DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks have a handful of players who could realistically make the cover of EA Sports College Football 27. EA Sports released photos of the two covers of the video game. The standard version of the game will have Smith and Williams as the cover athletes. The deluxe version will have Williams and Smith front-and-center, along with many figures key to college football, including Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman, Ole Miss' Lane Kiffin and former USC star and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush.

CFB Playoff Seeding as Ranked in 2026?
Big Ten Trojan Horse Lures SEC Toward Lame College Football Playoff Format The Big Ten’s preferred playoff model is a trojan horse for the SEC. And still, the SEC keeps inching toward the horse’s belly. If the Big Ten gets its way, the College Football Playoff would move in 2026 toward a format in which more bids are awarded via automatic selection. The idea works like this: In a 16-team field, the Big Ten and SEC would get four automatic bids apiece, the ACC and Big 12 would get two auto bids apiece, the Group of Five would get one auto bid, and that leaves three at-large bids up for grabs. In many years, Notre Dame would snag one of the three at-large bids. It’s easy to understand why the ACC and Big 12 dislike this model. It preassigns twice as many automatic bids to the Big Ten and SEC before the season even kicks off. It’s a model based more on conference brand prestige than in-season meritocracy. What’s more difficult to comprehend is the SEC's swelling support for this model.
