10. Wisconsin's "1st and 10 Wisconsin!" Cheer - More like "3rd and 5 is probably too far for us Wisconsin!" Jump Around is pretty fun though.

9. Oregon's Uniforms - We get it, Nike owns you. Maybe pull out the special unis for, you know, special occasions? Not different unis for each session of a two-a-day in August.

8. Michigan State's 'Go Green, Go White' Cheer - 'Smoke Green, Snort White' is my preferred retort here.

7. Penn State's "We Are, Penn State" Cheer - "We Are, [also] Fox Sports"!

6. Miami's Smoke Entrance - Maybe if they were good this would be cool again. Until then, maybe put out the fire on the field first? Also, 'The U Invented Swagger' is one of the worst things ever.

5. Iowa's Pink Visitor's Locker Room - Pretty par for the course in Iowa.

4. FSU's Chop - I guess it's easy to remember?

3. Dressing fancy (I assume multiple southern schools) - you're attending a football game and have a fairly high likelihood of encountering vomit. Also, it's probably hot out. Honestly, UF's jorts-and-a-tasteless-tank makes more sense.

2. Clemson's Home Field Bus Trip - This is really dumb and I couldn't believe it the first time I saw it.

1. THE Ohio State University - No one's confused about this.

Pretending the athletes are not professionals and robbing them of their fare share of billions of dollars?

Virginia Tech's "Enter Sandman" entrance. Copying a Yankees tradition makes you lame.

Michigan claiming 900+ victories when a decent number were against high schools and similar such nonsense in the early 1900's.

I'll back U$C's conquest and add Arizona State's commitment to mediocrity

I'm a uva fan and I hate that dumb entrance . Being from va my Facebook feed of hokie fans are constantly obsessing over it and claiming it's the best college football entrance.

Uva kills me when we get a first down and the stadium announcer belts out..."andddddd....that's another cavalier first down". Even if we're getting slaughtered, which has been the case the last decade

How about the UConn manufactured "rivalry" with UCF, complete with Civil War trophy. UCF apparently agrees - after their win, they left the trophy on the bench at UConn.
