College football is coming back to video games for the first time since 2013, and everyone is excited about it.

EA Sports announced Tuesday that it will bring back the popular game, which last appeared as NCAA Football 14.

The first thing people wanted to discuss is who will be on the cover:

Fans will likely have to be patient with the process, as the game is not expected to return this year, per Michael Rothstein of ESPN.

There is still enough to celebrate as we await the next iteration of one of the top sports video games ever made.
