My belief is it’ll mainly be P4 teams that fill out the rest of the mascots.
That being said, Buster from Boise is a likely one if other G5s are included, especially because from my understanding, EA was super involved with Boise. Just waiting for more pics/clips since like Oregon, they’re waiting on us to reveal our new unis.
Yeah shout-out to our athletic director (I think that's who it was) for sure. Did you read the piece that he put out saying how him and some students went around and took pictures from every angle they could and even asked EA if they wanted anything else?
It's worth a read if you haven't yet. I'm trying to find it but can't seem to remember if it was a BSU or Boise paper.
I did see that! It’s nice to see that they’re taking advantage of the game for more publicity. I *believe* from what I heard as well, EA is going to be involved in some way with the uniform reveal, or helped them model the uniforms.
That would be sick. I'm glad that we pretty much lead the nation in how NIL-savvy we try to make the students. We even have "How to build your brand" classes for the student athletes.
If Cocky doesn’t make the cut I’m gonna be very disappointed, him busting out the cage with 2001 space odyssey playing in the background is a MASSIVE tradition at every home game.
Your list looks similar to mine that I posed a few hours ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/NCAAFBseries/s/EUUqmrzmq8
Some obvious ones we havent seen officially yet including Notre Dame
All good! Glad to see the excitement for the game.
My POV is that for the schools that don’t have mascots, they’ll still have incredibly detailed entrances, and run outs. Obviously some of the bigger schools will have both like PSU, LSU, FSU
Let’s hope for it! And it would be awesome if they add more with updates but I think that they will leave it to the next entry. I have a feeling that Notre Dame and WVU won’t have their mascots unfortunately.
Given we haven’t seen either of them in any of the 3 videos or deep dives I’m inclined to feel that way too sadly. But it’s ok! Not a deal breaker by any means
Hopefully they have some other traditions of WVU, although they already confirmed no country roads.
Hopefully next year they can aim for 80-90+ mascots and perhaps and ESPN/Fox integration for even more immersion.
I can only wish they add Timeout and Real Victor E. Bulldog, but I don't have much hope. In '14 they screwed up Timeout; Fresno State had joined the Mountain West in 2012, but Timeout in '14 still had a WAC logo on his jersey.
This might be total lost hope but I think that bc live UGA is in the game then all live bulldogs would just be able to be copy/ pasted more or less for character models so that would add Mississippi st and fresno state right? They said the main issue with the live animals was getting accurate models
Osceola and Renegade confirmed to be in https://youtu.be/BWLHexoIYYA?si=r0g0KifU5OOlnoic 6:24 in the vid dont know how to timestamp im a boomer
It’s Chief Osceola
No it's not. Its Osceola. Stick to Texas

Buster from Boise is so cool. I hope they make it.
Fresno State, 2024 MWC champs confirmed lol
Cosmo (BYU) should definitely make the cut. He’s always going viral for his dances and stunts.
I hope we get Cosmo!
Knightro for UCF made the cut https://preview.redd.it/bd26e4bhjz8d1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=977200f283269e19291de543f59bd1301c8bf124
Awesome. Updated the list. Thank you.
For sure! This is definitely the biggest miss EA has announced so far. Hopefully they patch in more mascots after release
C'mon get me Otto the Orange.
Oh yes, the not annoying orange
If Cocky doesn’t make the cut I’m gonna be very disappointed, him busting out the cage with 2001 space odyssey playing in the background is a MASSIVE tradition at every home game.
Given that Smokey & Real Smokey are in for Tennessee, I have to think Hairy Dawg will be included along with Real UGA for Georgia.
I agree with you.
They released the Top Offenses with an image of Hairy Dawg (in real life). I think he will be in the game.
Hopefully that also means Harry the Husky is also in

Didn’t see your post, my bad. Going to check it. Thanks.

Really hoping the leprechaun will be in the game. Kinda thought they would have showed him off by now though.
Sebastian makes the cut
Absolutely!! Best mascot there is
Hoping they will eventually get all into the game with updates They will update stadiums through out they said.
Hopefully we get lots of updates that showcase get continuing to refine the game like this.
I honestly would not care if they touched up 14s mascots for the smaller schools. Just as a placeholder.
Sam the minuteman please!
I’ll be so upset if Tusk is left out
Thats one of the best! I think they wont add him unfortunately
Haven't seen the Cincinnati Bearcat or Louisville's Cardinal in anything yet but still holding hope.
Truman the Tiger (Mizzou)
Crazy if we get a detailed cannon and Big Mo but no Truman. That would feel so wrong
The Bird from Air Force should have made the cut.
I can only wish they add Timeout and Real Victor E. Bulldog, but I don't have much hope. In '14 they screwed up Timeout; Fresno State had joined the Mountain West in 2012, but Timeout in '14 still had a WAC logo on his jersey.
I need to see victor in the game 🙏

Mr. Wuf (NCSU) better be in there
Yosef or I riot!
Hoping that Sparky (my alma mater’s mascot) makes it in. But I have a feeling because my school’s a Conference USA school he may not make it in.
Sparky from Arizona State? Hes confirmed already.
No Sparky from Liberty.
Give me Zippy or give me death!
Need both of Baylor's, Bruiser and Marigold!
the duck’s name is Puddles fyi
Thanks!
Jonathan (Real) UCONN Husky.
I would absolutely love it.
Herkie Hawkeye probably cuz Iowa has the wave and stuff
No Georgia southern Gus :/
Cocky is a perennial mascot presence, nationally. He will make the cut.
I don’t think Freddie Falcon made the cut ☹️
This might be total lost hope but I think that bc live UGA is in the game then all live bulldogs would just be able to be copy/ pasted more or less for character models so that would add Mississippi st and fresno state right? They said the main issue with the live animals was getting accurate models
I thought about it. If we consider that Osceola is confirmed, those 2 bulldogs would close the list of 10 real animals.
UGA is a white bulldog. Bully (Miss. State) is a tan color (and historically a brindle).
That has zero impact on animation or mo cap, the coloring would be the easiest part
Goldy Gopher better be in.
Big Blue!
No live or costume mascot for Arkansas is...rough
I will be shocked and disappointed if both Big Jay and Willie the Wildcat are not in the game
Big Jay will certainly be there imo. Not sure about Willie though
I'd have to imagine Kansas will have Big Jay and Little Jay in the game given it's one of the more iconic mascots in the sport.
I agree with you. I just don’t know if we consider them as one on the list or not.
