If you haven’t heard already, this year marks 150 years of college football. And while things started pretty rough with Rutgers’ shoddy claim to a shared title with the only other team to exist (Princeton), things have gone pretty well since those early, dark days.
Sports Illustrated took a shot at ranking the top college football mascots of all time, and netted out with a list that included Syracuse’s Otto the Orange at No. 9. We’d put him at the top of the list for obvious reasons, but you can potentially see how the names in front of Otto get there.
