All three EA Sports College Football 27 standard-cover players’ schools reached the College Football Playoff semifinals in 2025–26.
The standard cover featured Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy, and Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney. Their teams each advanced through the expanded 12-team playoff to the semifinal round: Oregon faced Indiana, while Miami played Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal.
The wording can cause confusion because Miami went even further, reaching the national championship game. Ole Miss and Oregon stopped in the semifinals, but the question asks how far all three schools reached, so semifinals is the shared round.
Miami defeated Ole Miss 31–27 in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal. In the other semifinal, Indiana defeated Oregon 56–22, then beat Miami 27–21 in the championship game on January 19, 2026.
