This year marks the 150th B'day of college football. The first game between Princeton and Rutgers was played on November 6, 1869.

Top 10 College Fight Songs According to this SI Writer:

10: U Washington

9: FSU (Not what one things it is)

8: Naval Academy

7: Clemson

6: USC Fight On

5: Wisconsin

4: Notre Dame

3: UT Rocky Top

2: Boomer Sooner

1: U Michigan THE VICTORS

[Rummyfan]

C'mon! I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech is hands down the best! A barrel of rum? And To Hell With Georgia?! It's no contest. Although Hail to the Victors really sticks in your head.

Always thought notre dames was the NBC theme

My comments on the list: U Wash fight song sucks. Rocky Top is an adopted country song. If you are going to include Rocky Top then one can include USCs "Tusk" and Stanford's "All Right Now". The pieces mentioned for USC and FSU are not even the most famous pieces of music for those schools. If you are going to include "Boomer Sooner" then you have to include other more short pieces. This is my list as a 30+ year college football fan:

11: UCLA/CAL: UCLA created a modified version of the Cal fight song

10: Georgia. UGa song using the music from "The Battle Hymn of the Republic:" is so funny. I guess Sherman's troops singing that music created the ultimate musical earworm.

9: Notre Dame. Should be higher but I hate the Domers.

8: TAMU War Hymn

7: Boomer Sooner

6: The Service Academies

5: THE Ohio State University: "Across the Field"

4: USC: Tribute to Troy. (The piece of music the USC band plays when USC is on defense)

3: Tomahawk Chop

2: On Wisconsin: That was the cry Arthur McArthur, father of Douglas, yelled out as he led his Wisconsin regiment up Missionary Ridge.

1: "Hail to the Victors". When your college fight song gets the approval of the March King Sousa himself you know you did it right.

[N. Theknow]

Don’t know if they have a song but Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, ABAC, in Tifton, GA has a great cheer!

Gee! Haw! Whoa! Back! Give ‘em Hell ABAC!

[Mr. Mojo]

The best, second best, and third best song is here.

Nothing else is more than a pale imitation.

Let's not forget Harvard!

[WASCWatch]

FSU fight song belongs in the bottom ten.

[Biggirl]

Not surprised of Michigan being #1. I root for the pro football team with its most famous alum: the FOREVER young Tom Brady.
