+sammy paratore 👍🏼 a big ten school I can deal with. I don't know if you really know that much or care, but our rivalry with Iowa is bitter. If you met me in person, you'd know no one else that hates the Hawks more than I do. Lol. #gostate #cyclonestate
A Maize & Blue tip 'o the cap to you, Dave. Sousa agreed w/ you! Yet many "Old Blues" prefer U-M's so-called "other fight song", "Varsity". Listen to it at the following URL: >> grooveshark.com/s/Varsity/2Pp4Pf?src=5
It is one of the most common fight songs used by high schools across the country. Same tune, adapted lyrics. I would argue it's more recognizable than half the songs on this list.
+Fitzy77 I've lived here in the upper great lakes most of my life and around the Big Ten, I know this fight song because I've been to Wisconsin, and Camp Randall. To assert that "On Wisconsin" is more widely know than the "Victors" is absurd.
+Bryon Scheer You can go anywhere here in this country, and play those fight songs and people may not know the name of the fight song or who the teams are, but will recognize these songs.
@@brianhenderson9298 Not only written by the same guy, but he based his Iowa Fight Song on his earlier hit “It's Beginning to a Like Christmas" which is why they have the same harmonic structure and sound so much alike. It's an old songwriter's device that Wilson also used on other occasions.
There's no law in having your favorite songs--but if you're truly a college football fan there are certain fight songs that CANNOT be left out!! Specifically, I would cite USC, Alabama, Wisconsin, Clemson, Ohio State and Nebraska for school fight songs that should be in anyone's top 15!!
MrJohnnysynth All I'm saying is that this list has left out some iconic fight songs that serious college football fans would be more likely to include in a top-15 ranking.
I definitely agree with Hail to the Victors being #1, but Texas Fight at 9? Wow. Next to Hail to the Victors and Wake Up the Echoes (ND), that has to be the most recognized college football fight song out there.
If anyone is interested, I'm a HUGE Iowa State fan as I've grown up in Ames my whole life. Listen to their fight song..super energetic and gets me pumped for the upcoming football season
Daniel Vincent Notre Dame is the better of the 2. In fact the same guy wrote both Notre dames and Michigan’s. You have to admit though I’m terms of popularity Notre dames is the most popular.
I remember playing the old NCAA Football games and I'd play as Columbia just to hear their fight song because of how different it was than everybody else's.
I'm a TCU student, and a Horned Frogs fan through and through, but I've gotta admit that I won't fight for our fight song to be in this list. If you have no connection to the school, you don't know it or like it. However, the fact that UTEP isn't on here is an injustice. They have THE best fight song in the country. It's energetic, recognizable, and catchy with the tune of Marty Robins' El Paso. Aside from them, I would like to add the military academies to this list. On this list, I have to say that Notre Dame is the most timeless and recognizable one ever.
These are all excellent, but I'd recommend you take a listen to both Ohio State and Wisconsin's fight songs. Maybe you're a Michigan fan so that's against your religion, but they both deserve high spots on this list.
Not shooting the messenger,but USC's fight song, along Notre Dame's, is UNIVERALLY famous ina a word iconic! Leaving it of of your list is almost criminal!
I'm a college football fan and USC's fight song is not in my memory banks like Notre Dame or Tennessee Michigan, FSU, so it's not that Universal there Russ
Good job! It takes a lot of courage to put a list like this out there. If you've not heard the fight songs of both Auburn and the University of Alabama, give them a listen. They are unique, with great lyrics, and the Alabama Fight Song comes close to a Gilbert and Sullivan "patter" song; it's got the most complicated lyrics in all of college football.
While the Seminole War Chant is certainly catchy and even oppressive if you are their opponent, it is NOT FSU's Fight Song. You might want to start a new collection of College Stadium Chants...FSU's War Chant and Penn State's Zombie Nation would be good starts...
Let's stop playing games. Every one knows hail to the victors is the best fight song ever. Some of u just don't want to admit it because you're not big BLUE fans.
If you can find a recording, Purdue Varsity Glee Club used to sing a medley of fight songs from around the Big 10 (plus a few others like Notre Dame). The song itself goes quickly and you get to hear the lyrics to each school's song, both a plus. There's also a twist at the end which I believe most college fans will appreciate for its humor.
I agree Notre Dame's fight song belongs in the top three, and fairly indifferent toward U Michigan's fight song ... _but_ USC's epic "Tribute to Troy" definitely belongs in the top three!
Yep...a Michicken fan....You know damn well you've heard Ohio States fight song and not saying where it should be on your list..but c'mon it deserves to be there.....Your gonna hear it big time this year..HEAR IT...LEARN IT... FEAR IT.....GO BUCKEYES!!!
Man, you blew it on Big Ten songs. You missed the great fight songs of Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Michigan State, but you include Purdue? PURDUE??
Ohio State's actual song sucks, the show and marching is awesome, but the actual song isn't very good, but I live in Columbus and I'm probably numb to it. Northwestern's sucks too. Agree with Minn, Wisc, and Sparty though.
Ohio State has one of the best fight songs as well as sports programs. I would put Tennessee at 7, texas at 6, Oregon at 5 Oklahoma at 4, Notre Dame at 3 Michigan at 2 and The Bucks fight song at 1
I'm a Georgia fan, and our fight song stinks. It's not that Ramblin' Wreck is bad, but it repeats the same melody. It has always needed a 2nd melody in it.
***** The "Glory,, Glory" song is simply the Battle Hymn of the Republic". Our other song, "Hail to Georgia" is good, but not used as much. I like that one and I love the Dawgs,just not "Glory, Glory" too much.
Having bought a Professionally Done LP in the early 1960's while in grade school, which has the Top 30 College Fight Songs (Music and Words) I know them ll. Always considered Both of these in the Top 10. My Rankings of the BEST Collge Fight Songs: "On Wisconsin"( Long Version- Sorry I went to Wisconsin) "Maine Stiene Song", Notre Dame", "Fight that Team Across the Field" (Ohio State) , "Hail to te Victors" (michigan), "Southern Cal", "Hail to Pit" , "Rambling Reck From Georia Tech", "Minnesota Rouser", "Go You Northwestern", "The Eyes Of Texas", " Bula Bua" (Yale) "Glory Glory to Old Georgia"," Princeton Fight Song"
I'm happy you agree re: "The Victors." If I told you Michigan's secondary fight song, "Varsity," belongs on this list you'd really eye me askance. My prejudice here is self-evident. So ignore what I think about my own alma mater's music but take that same bias into account when I tell you to listen to Michigan State's fight song and decide whether it should take Purdue's place. The current students ruin it by replacing "weakening" with "WEEEEEEAK" but I admit it's one of the better arrangements out there and deserves its due. ND's is great too. My distaste for Ohio State's fight song is irrelevant for the reason above, but if you scroll down Zach Yingst, Mean Spokesman for Internet Buckeyes, brings up the two relevant points in its favor.
Some pretty glaring omissions: The greatest composer of marching band music is probably John Philip Sousa, who considered On Wisconsin the best of the fight songs. I agree. Sousa put Michigan's at number 2. Anchors Aweigh and, for that matter, On Brave Old Army Team are pretty epic. USC's song will be recognized by everyone, I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech deserves consideration. I thought Texas used The Eyes of Texas are Upon You, which is better than the one selected. Finally Boomer Sooner is the same melody as Yale's Boola Boola. The Yale song dates from 1901 so it is probably the source for Oklahoma's.
Uhhhhh, the best fight song is On Wisconsin. By far the most recognizable. High schools around the country have been using it and changing the lyrics since it was written, and John Phillip Sousa (a guy who knew a little about marches and school fight songs) called it the "finest of college fight songs." Notre Dame? Purdue? WEST CAROLINA??? Give me a break. ON WISCONSIN, ON WISCONSIN, PLUNGE RIGHT THROUGH THAT LINE!
Finally someone had the judgement to put the WSU Cougar Fight Song in the top 10!!! Our teams have not always been winning teams but we have th best fight song!!!
I really like Rocky Top, but it just doesn't sound like a college fight song to me. It sounds like a fun country song about a town, which it probably started as, I assume.
USC has the best 3 songs in college football in Fanfare, Tribute to Troy and Fight On... You listen to those 3 put together and that gets you soo hype.... Tribute to Troy is the most daunting song in college football.
A lot of great songs, some of which I hate to hear during games, but these songs make me smile with great memories associated with great rivalies. Thanks for your selections. Go Hogs Go!
More ND propaganda and self-aggrandizement, which the whole country is used to and sick of. Rather than a true fight song, the "Victory March" sounds more like something one would dance a jig to or sing in a pub!
What that you're of below average intelligence that makes sophomoric comments that have pedophile undertones....then gets upset when you're called out on your stupidity .......I'm glad I could help you in your self discovery.
When your team is #1 at everything. BEST fight song. Best team in BIG Ten. Only undefeated team in the BIG TEN. #1 in the East. #2 behind, of all teams, Alabama.
Absolutely right. Michigan has the best fight song. The best tradition, the winningest football program of all time, with 11 National Championships to boot! However, Notre Dame's fight song should be second (Colorado State plagiarized their song), and USC should be third.
San Diego St., Oklahoma State and Iowa? My top 5-Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Michigan. Honorable Mention-Texas, LSU, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Oregon
Also honorable mention-Texas A&M and Indiana-grew up near Ohio-Indiana border and this is for basketball. Many Saturday afternoons watching Hoosier basketball-Bobby Knight and listening to Hilliard Gates. The TV opening had a cleaning lady mopping the floors of Assembly Hall humming and singing the Indiana fight song. Will never forget it.☺
BrutusByForce....and this Hoosier from Southport, class of '72, Indiana State, class of '76, and USC, class of 80, remembers that opening for the Bobby Knight show so very well !!! It was absolutely perfect and would bring tears to many Hoosiers. Top 5 is easy to pick: Michigan, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, but two best are the ones who really established the bowl system nearly 90 years ago and that is Notre Dame and USC. You just cannot but get goosepimples watching Ronald Reagan (George Gipp) tell Knute Rockne (Pat O'Brien) "How far" when Rockne asked if anybody could run with the football and as Rockne watches, and Gipp is running, the ND Fight Song is played in the background. I would put Texas in top 5 if they used the "Eyes of Texas Are Upon You instead of the Texas fight song which is good but not the most representative. As far as truly epic fight song that you can listen on YT and evaluate, there is really only one, and that is the USC trilogy of Fanfare, Tribute to Troy, & Fight On at this URL: www.youtube.com.watch?v=RQ7oArZrQ1s Just listen to this and it's pretty obvious.....
Agreed, Prince. Richard prashker, that was not FSU's Fight Song. That's just considered a "stand cheer". The fight song is the first song their band plays once their team scores.
@Reborn Killer, I'm not going to debate with you. I'm pretty sure I would know since I'm in band. On top of that, it literally takes 2 secs to search "FSU Fight Song" and you will get the Fight Song. This is exactly what you said, "the war chant". Key word is CHANT.
Fight, Tigers fight for Ole' Mizzou, right behind you everyone is with you, break the line and follow down the field, then you'll be on the top, up on the top. Fight, Tigers you will always win, proudly keep the colors flying skyward. In the end we'll win the victory, so Tigers fight for Ole' Mizzou!
All the fight songs on the list are great. However, THE VICTORS is the only one most people know verbatim without being a true fan, regardless if they want to admit it. GOOOOOOOO BLUUUUUUUUE!!!!!
I think Ohio state has the best fight song, but I am a ohio at fan so I'm bias. They are For Sure top 5 I think most people would even say top 2 but you look at me with a straight face and say they are not top 15.
Lyrics to Arkansas Fight Song: Hit that line Hit that line Keep on going Take that ball right down the field! Give a cheer (Rah, Rah!) Never fear (Rah, Rah!) Arkansas will never yield! On your toes Razorbacks To the finish Carry on with all your might For its A-A-A-R-K-A-A-N-S-A-S For Arkansas Fight, fight, fight!
Does this make anyone else miss the NCAA Football video game series ?
Yes!! 😩 so tired of NFL, college atmosphere and bands make it sooo much better
Yes I love playing the NCAA games!

All y'all talkin bout how y'alls college has the best song are wrong. College University has the best fight song. GO MASCOTS!
Penn State fan here, and I do not like Michigan (or Ohio State for the matter), but "Hail To The Victors" is the best fight song.
A Maize & Blue tip 'o the cap to you, Dave. Sousa agreed w/ you!
Yet many "Old Blues" prefer U-M's so-called "other fight song", "Varsity". Listen to it at the following URL:

+Jerry Coval Same!! Those are like top
I know !!!!! Needs bucks
+Jerry Coval No doubt! Not even close to a USC fan, but man... Come on!! They have one of if not the best fight songs, period. Same w/ tOSU.
+Jerry Coval MSU is okay, OSU is trash, and where is USC?
This entire comment section is biased, a bunch of butthurt people because their team wasnt first
+Alex Meyer hence the 50% dislikes

You obviously forgot that Wisconsin has the best fight song!!! Why is it not even on the list??
+Fitzy77 Wisconsin's suck
+Fitzy77 Wisconsin has a great fight song, but no one knows it outside of the state of Wisconsin.
It is one of the most common fight songs used by high schools across the country. Same tune, adapted lyrics. I would argue it's more recognizable than half the songs on this list.
+Fitzy77 I've lived here in the upper great lakes most of my life and around the Big Ten, I know this fight song because I've been to Wisconsin, and Camp Randall. To assert that "On Wisconsin" is more widely know than the "Victors" is absurd.
Fitzy77 true
Sooners is my favorite but the Notre Dame one is nice.
So is Florida State Seminoles.
Notre Dame is the one my school uses
Oh please! Sooners isn’t even an original song. Oklahoma just stole Yale’s “Boola Boola” fer cryin’ out loud.
Hail to the victors is my number one fight song! it is music to my ears!
The two best fight songs, also most recognized are in order....Michigan, Notre Dame.
+Hal Barbour Right 'not'
+Bryon Scheer You can go anywhere here in this country, and play those fight songs and people may not know the name of the fight song or who the teams are, but will recognize these songs.
+Hal Barbour Really not ichagan lmfao,and Notre Dame blows!!!!
+Bryon Scheer Personal incongruity is not a bases for a position that can be defended.
+Hal Barbour Then don't throw your shit mouth out there.....
"Rocky Top" is NOT the fight song of Tennessee, its actually "Down the Field"
More widely known though?
The Iowa Fight Song sounds like “It's Beginning to a Like Christmas.”
+Dominic Arceo Written by the same guy: Meredith Wilson.
@@brianhenderson9298 Not only written by the same guy, but he based his Iowa Fight Song on his earlier hit “It's Beginning to a Like Christmas" which is why they have the same harmonic structure and sound so much alike. It's an old songwriter's device that Wilson also used on other occasions.
Not being biased or anything since I'm not even in college yet, but man, FSU chant was the best, I could feel the fighting spirit in it
Its because the chant is essentially getting you ready for war. Hence the name. Four days from this comment and counting
"The greatest college fight song ever written." - John Philip Sousa about The Victors
Go Blue! :)
There's no law in having your favorite songs--but if you're truly a college football fan there are certain fight songs that CANNOT be left out!! Specifically, I would cite USC, Alabama, Wisconsin, Clemson, Ohio State and Nebraska for school fight songs that should be in anyone's top 15!!
So his favorites make him NOT a true college football fan ?
MrJohnnysynth All I'm saying is that this list has left out some iconic fight songs that serious college football fans would be more likely to include in a top-15 ranking.
These are all great fight songs, but I feel like Wisconsin (On, Wisconsin!) and Ohio (The Buckeye Battle Cry) should’ve made it too.
I definitely agree with Hail to the Victors being #1, but Texas Fight at 9? Wow. Next to Hail to the Victors and Wake Up the Echoes (ND), that has to be the most recognized college football fight song out there.
My top ten fight songs are: 1 Michigan 2 Notre Dame 3 Tennessee 4 USC 5 Wisconsin 6 Nebraska 7 LSU 8 Florida 9 Alabama 10 Texas A&M
A&M's is the best.And I'm a Buckeye fan
If anyone is interested, I'm a HUGE Iowa State fan as I've grown up in Ames my whole life. Listen to their fight song..super energetic and gets me pumped for the upcoming football season
The Victors. Greatest college fight song ever written!!

Georgia Tech, Florida, Miami, NC State, Ohio State, UCF, Clemson, LSU?
I know, right? LSU should be included in this. It is MUCH better than Oklahoma State's.
BOO GO BLUE
Leo Kupperman I agree on Ohio State and UCF for sure. Florida, I'm on the fence. The others, I don't know that well.
Nick Brock You seem a bit young...
I'm a TCU student, and a Horned Frogs fan through and through, but I've gotta admit that I won't fight for our fight song to be in this list. If you have no connection to the school, you don't know it or like it. However, the fact that UTEP isn't on here is an injustice. They have THE best fight song in the country. It's energetic, recognizable, and catchy with the tune of Marty Robins' El Paso. Aside from them, I would like to add the military academies to this list. On this list, I have to say that Notre Dame is the most timeless and recognizable one ever.
Excellent choice for number one! I'm going to Michigan State next year, but I bleed blue and gold, and I just love U of M's fight song!
These are all excellent, but I'd recommend you take a listen to both Ohio State and Wisconsin's fight songs. Maybe you're a Michigan fan so that's against your religion, but they both deserve high spots on this list.

The TV opening had a cleaning lady mopping the floors of Assembly Hall humming and singing the Indiana fight song. Will never forget it.☺
BrutusByForce....and this Hoosier from Southport, class of '72, Indiana State, class of '76, and USC, class of 80, remembers that opening for the Bobby Knight show so very well !!! It was absolutely perfect and would bring tears to many Hoosiers. Top 5 is easy to pick: Michigan, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, but two best are the ones who really established the bowl system nearly 90 years ago and that is Notre Dame and USC. You just cannot but get goosepimples watching Ronald Reagan (George Gipp) tell Knute Rockne (Pat O'Brien) "How far" when Rockne asked if anybody could run with the football and as Rockne watches, and Gipp is running, the ND Fight Song is played in the background. I would put Texas in top 5 if they used the "Eyes of Texas Are Upon You instead of the Texas fight song which is good but not the most representative. As far as truly epic fight song that you can listen on YT and evaluate, there is really only one, and that is the USC trilogy of Fanfare, Tribute to Troy, & Fight On at this URL: www.youtube.com.watch?v=RQ7oArZrQ1s
Just listen to this and it's pretty obvious.....

MSU*
Go Bucks
You Got Two Of My Favorite Fight Songs #13 San Diego State Aztecs and #1 Michigan Wolverines
SIGNS YOUR CHILD COULD BE MENTALITY HANDICAPPED: IF THEY SAY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
"War Eagle"
"Rocky Top"
"Geaux Tigers"
Lsu is most likely better then any team you root for...
rocky top is ok though. saying from a crimson tide fan
+max79_99 clearly and Alabama fan, am I correct?
I say Rocky Top and know that the term is *Mentally Handicapped* not Mentality Handicapped. You tried, though.
“Roll Tide”
Boomer
Hook’em
Gig em
Where they at
Judging by what the #1 song is in this video, I have a good idea of why "Across the Field" was left out.
Go green even thoe msu isnt in here!!!
Dominator X I agree with you
Hail to the Victors! Great choice! Of course, "On Wisconsin" and "Anchors Aweigh" are pretty awesome too.
GO BLUE
This years game is gonna be good 👍
Fantastic list! spot on! You hit number 3 and I was thinking "No Texas Aggies?" and you got it! agree 100%!
+Al Sando you smoke crack!!! and must be tone deaf
That's not even FSU's fight song
yes it is.....
yes it is. im a major florida state fan and i know someone who goes there
Agreed, Prince. Richard prashker, that was not FSU's Fight Song. That's just considered a "stand cheer". The fight song is the first song their band plays once their team scores.
yes it is its their war chant
@Reborn Killer, I'm not going to debate with you. I'm pretty sure I would know since I'm in band. On top of that, it literally takes 2 secs to search "FSU Fight Song" and you will get the Fight Song. This is exactly what you said, "the war chant". Key word is CHANT.
This is the shiftiest collection of college fight song ever compiled.
NORTRE dame 1
I'm a MSU fan and I wish we had a war chant like FSU!! I love it
How could you not have ohio state university?
***** then you need to boot out Notre Dame ...
***** Omg so true.
Because it is a cesspool
USC is probably the most iconic of all fight songs, up there with Notre Dame, even though I hate writing that. How are they not on the list?
Good bye to Texas University
As a Bama fan I know this is blasphemy but I like the Auburn fight song. ROLL TIDE !
listen to MSU one of the best
Fight, Tigers fight for Ole' Mizzou, right behind you everyone is with you, break the line and follow down the field, then you'll be on the top, up on the top. Fight, Tigers you will always win, proudly keep the colors flying skyward. In the end we'll win the victory, so Tigers fight for Ole' Mizzou!
oh yeah GO BLUE GO MICHIGAN
While it is Division III, the Fight song for Washington and Lee University is a college classic and certainly should be on this list.
+Skyhighblu Hook em horns
Give em hell! Give em hell!! OU SUCKS!!
All the fight songs on the list are great. However, THE VICTORS is the only one most people know verbatim without being a true fan, regardless if they want to admit it. GOOOOOOOO BLUUUUUUUUE!!!!!
I think Ohio state has the best fight song, but I am a ohio at fan so I'm bias. They are For Sure top 5 I think most people would even say top 2 but you look at me with a straight face and say they are not top 15.
Lyrics to Arkansas Fight Song:
Hit that line
Hit that line
Keep on going
Take that ball right down the field!
Give a cheer
(Rah, Rah!)
Never fear
(Rah, Rah!)
Arkansas will never yield!
On your toes
Razorbacks
To the finish
Carry on with all your might
For its A-A-A-R-K-A-A-N-S-A-S
For Arkansas
Fight, fight, fight!
Go BLUE!!!!!
Yeh!!!! Go Buckeyes
NO BLUE
GO BLUE
Go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
GGGOOO BLUE!!!! Cannot wait to play for Jimmy Harbaugh!!!
So glad you included Rocky Top!
