It’s not exactly a stretch to hear strong rumors pointing to Travis Hunter and Jalen Milroe gracing multiple-game covers for EA CFB 25. If odds were set on this topic, both players would be in the top 3 as favorites to do so.

One core issue with this game's insanely long hype train has been the clout chasing on social media, which often utilizes obvious thoughts to create a buzz.

THANKFULLY, this all comes to an end next with the CFB 25 Full Reveal from EA.

Apparently everyone is saying “rumors” are strong for Hunter and Milroe to be #CFB25 cover athletes.
Easy to start rumors about the 2 guys who are odds on favorites to grace the cover.

🍻 Game Rating Comes With A Booze Reference

A sneak peek of the EA CFB 25 game rating came with a little surprise mention of alcohol. We added the beer icon in the image below for clarity.

It is believed that the 2024 Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl is the reason for the reference as it is presented by “Gin & Juice” with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.

The Arizona Bowl, which brings together teams from the Mountain West Conference and Mid-American Conference each year, announced a multi-year sponsorship deal today, titling the event the “Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented by Gin & Juice By Dre and Snoop,” to air on December 28, 2024 at 2:30pm MST. This groundbreaking agreement marks the first alcohol partner as the presenting sponsor in an NCAA Bowl Game. Gin & Juice By Dre and Snoop is the first ready-to-drink product from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s new premium spirits company and is named for Snoop’s iconic 1994 song from his debut album, Doggystyle, produced by Dr. Dre.

MAC Conference Press Release

🏈 Over 12,800 Players Have Opted In

Matt Brown reported yesterday that the FINAL player opt-in total for the CFB 25 launch was just under 13,000 players.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN that almost 13K players are in the game. That is the number of players who opted into the NIL agreement with EA Sports.

We expect to see 85-man rosters.

Additionally, roster updates are expected to happen mid-season, so don’t freak out if someone is missing. To date, Arch Manning is the ONLY player who has publicly stated that he did not opt into the NIL agreement for EA CFB 25.
