The Best Traditions in College Football

What makes College Football fun, weird, and different from the NFL? Ridiculous traditions that fans don’t even know why they exist, half the time. Here are the 10 best traditions to get you excited for the 2026 season.

1 – IowaThe Hawkeye Wave

Iowa’s football stadium is located across the street from the University’s children’s hospital. After the 1st quarter ends, players and fans alike turn and wave to the kids watching from windows of the upper floors. This has to be the most wholesome tradition in all of sports.  

2 – AuburnRolling Toomer’s Corner 

What is the correct way to celebrate a victory in football? There are many right answers, but I think Auburn fans have a pretty good one. Toomer’s Corner is a location on campus, and after every victory, the trees on the corner get “rolled.” I guess that’s what they call TP-ing down south. 

3 – WisconsinJump Around

Plenty of traditions involve the fans singing a song together, but how many actually get 80,000 to do vigorous exercise for 2 minutes? Badger fans may not know all the lyrics to Jump Around, but they do be jumping. Sometimes, so much …

We have a new number one! Walk on Fan’s March 10th Bracket Update

1 Seeds:

Duke (2-0), Auburn (0-2), Houston (2-0), Florida (2-0)

2 Seeds:

Tennessee (1-1), Michigan State (2-0), St. Johns (2-0), Alabama (1-1)

It turns out that Auburn is mortal, after all. Losing twice in one week only drops them to number two overall, with how stacked their resume is at the moment. Duke benefits from the dip and is currently sitting as the number one overall seed. The rest of the one and two seeds are sitting relatively comfortable going into the conference tournaments. Even if there are upsets, expect these teams to stay steady.

3 Seeds:

Texas Tech (2-0), Iowa State (1-1), Maryland (2-0), Clemson (2-0)

4 Seeds:

Wisconsin (1-1), Texas A&M (2-0), Purdue (1-1), Kentucky (2-0)

Wisconsin losing to Penn State sucks. Obviously, there were concerns with fouls and injuries related to the game, but that shouldn’t be an excuse to lose to a Big Ten team that didn’t even make the conference tournament. Greg Gard better hope his team can rebound in the postseason, otherwise, we might be hearing some “Fire Gard” chants coming soon. Elsewhere, Maryland and Clemson are two hot teams going into their respective tournaments and could move up with a good showing. Texas …

Tolly Predictions: What to Expect From the SEC West

Who is winning the West? What will the order of finish be? Who is making a bowl game?

These will be my record predictions for the SEC West. I will list every game for the predictions, but the primary takeaway should be the final record. We will also compare my predictions to the over/under win total for each team to see how the betting public feels about the SEC West.

*Odds listed refer to O/U’s taken from DraftKings at the time of writing

7th – Mississippi State – O/U win total: 6.5

Southeastern Louisiana – W

Arizona – W

LSU – L

At South Carolina – L

Alabama – L

Western Michigan – W

Bye

At Arkansas – L

At Auburn – L

Kentucky (HC) – L

At Texas A&M – L

Southern Miss – W

Ole Miss (Thursday) – W

Mississippi State is not a bad team. BUT, when you play in the SEC West, “not bad” is not good enough. I also think this team is still emotionally recovering from the sudden death of beloved HC Mike Leach. 

Unfortunately for them, I see this as a rough year for MS State. I do have them winning the Egg …
