FOX’s College Football Fan Vote: Elite Eight voting now open
Elite Eight voting is officially open for FOX’s College Football Fan Vote competition!
The social media challenge, which assumes the mission of finding the best fan base in college football, is one step closer to crowning a winner, as the next round got underway Monday.
It all started with 64 teams that were divided into four regions and seeded from 1 to 16. Teams advanced to the next round based on the number of fan votes each team received on Twitter in a given matchup.
Voting opened on Aug. 10, followed by the Round of 32 on Aug. 15 and the Sweet Sixteen on Aug. 17.
The Fan Vote is now down to the Elite Eight, and the remaining teams make up four heavy-hitting matchups
(13) Cincinnati vs. (10) Iowa State
(9) Oklahoma State vs. (11) Texas Tech
(7) West Virginia vs. (12) Houston
That’s right. Every team left is a current — or future — member of the Big 12. Houston and Cincinnati are currently in the AAC but are set to join the conference in 2023.
Texas Tech took down 2-seed LSU to lock in its spot in the Elite Eight, while West Virginia, Iowa State and Oklahoma topped 3-seeds Michigan State, Ohio State and Penn State, respectively.
Cincinnati beat out 8-seed Virginia Tech, Houston bested 9-seed Utah, and Baylor dropped 13-seed Boise State.
Meanwhile, after nearly 44,000 votes, Oklahoma State beat out Kansas State by 0.1% to advance.
Happy voting, and may the best college football fan base win!
Stay tuned for updates.
