Minnesota Rouser did not even make the top 25. Back in the day there was a competition for composing the fight song, and the Minnesota Rouser won. A song called "Minnesota" came in second. Wisconsin needed a fight song at the time, so they took it and just renamed it "On Wisconsin"
The problem with these compilations is that they're based more on favoritism, familiarity, maybe the quality of the football team. They should be judged on the music alone. Nebraska is an OK fight song but sounds like a lot of other fight songs. It's not distinctive in any way and doesn't deserve #2.
Emmanuel Kilat I am I big ohio state fan and I want to go their someday but they have one of the best marching bands in college football they got picked to play in the 2018 macys day parade that us how good they are
I know, Right? It’s only the most recognizable fight son in history lending to the fact that ND has been represented on the big screen more than any other team. Who made this list, the same old boys network who pick the FBS Top 20?
As a USC guy, I can say that "The Victors" from Michigan is the best single Fight Song. We actually have three songs that we play during a game at SC - Fight On, Conquest and Tribute to Troy. Just for fun, we'll throw some Tusk in there as well.
Always loved the Texas Longhorns fight song--it's bawdy and brash (kind of like Texas itself!!) I always think of Foghorn Leghorn when I hear it LMAO!!
It has always fascinated me that so many school fight songs sound similar... I have always wondered how many universities took an already popular fight song and simply changed a note or two
Well, texas being the younger of A&M didn't have a fight song...so by 1927 took ours, Texas A&M Aggie War Hymn and just sped it up...along with "The Eyes of Texas" to the tune of I've Been Working on the Railroad" that's all they are. Most, if not all, the longhorns existence is a borrowing/ taking of other schools' traditions.
The junior high I went to used Northwestern's fight song as their own. Being a flute player I found it great fun to play, with all the trilling and stuff.
But Kudos on GT at #1. I'm playing a dynasty with them on NCAA14 and love this song. Not to mention, the song in a nutshell is about getting trashed. Nothing better than booze and football! haha
Kenni Cumberbatch hey I'd really love to get your opinion on a team like the Washington Redskins? I have always been fascinated with Native American culture! I'm just curious on what your stance is about the name.. Should it be changed or stay the same I feel like it's an honor, a tribute to Native Americans but idk I'm also not Native American.. how do you feel
Kenni Cumberbatch P.S. I think Florida state has hands down the best fight song in college sports... except for the Philadelphia Eagles they got the best LOL I bleed green
@@grantgrabowski229 I don’t think you know how to read. I said Aggie War Hymn talks about UT more than it does about their own school. Texas Fight literally has one line “and it’s goodbye to a&m” while aggy war hymn literally only talks about wanting to beat Texas. It’s cringe when you think about that, you haven’t played UT in almost 11 years. 💀
@@lucariothegreat5331 But I think the plan is for them to play again either this year or next! And by the way, there are actually 2 verses to the War Hymn- you're probably more familiar with verse 2, but verse 1 talks about TAMU more. And I would put it as a close second to ND, followed by MIchigan.
My community college uses it as the fight song! I had the c.c's version of the *lyrics*, but it took me a 30-second YT video performance and multiple watches (searching on, of all places, Spotify!) to figure out that it was the Victory March!
geogia needs to be so much higher. i went to a georgia nebraska game when i was 8 and i still remember their fight song to this day. i thought it was so cool
USC is by far the best fight song. I'm an LSU fan and don't really like USC but their song is just far, far better than any of the ones in front of them. You didn't put in the Fanfare or Tribute to Troy part of it, which is what they play 99% of the time, and it beats the pants off of everything else on that list.
The OU fight song starts of great but just repeats... again and again and again... It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, SONG WE KNOW !!!! It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, It's the only, SONG WE KNOW !!!!
I just realized this, so I went to Flower Mound High School, and part of Michigan University's fight song was used as the fight song for the Flower Mound Jaguars.
8:44 cheer cheer for the red and the white. Cheer cheer to make our team fight. Show the world what we could do, our fighting spirit will through. Any opponent big or small, CCHS will win over all. Something something something onward to victory! Go Squirrels! Fight! Fight! Fight! Love from Central Cass High School Casselton ND
Lukedoes Stuff well maybe Notre dame should join the B1G. It would make a lot of sense seeing how your location is right in the middle of all the B1G teams.
Arkansas fan here! Glad our fight song is number 8 here! Anyone remember how the USC and Wisconsin fight songs were incorporated into the score of the Archery Tournament chase scene in the Disney animated "Robin Hood" movie?
@@wyattstevens8574 I can’t think of a movie that plays one of the fight songs, but the sport film “Rudy” takes place at Notre Dame, so their fight song might be heard there.

The best school songs are the ones where thousands of fans sing along at designated spots in the song. It sounds so awesome.
AKA Rocky Top. Go vols.
Like Texas A&M!
@@TechBrosGamingChannel yessir go vols
Hearing the echo in GO BLUE! gives me chills
I’m embarrassed for whoever made this list... Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Michigan outside of the Top 12 is mind-boggling.
Minnesota Rouser did not even make the top 25. Back in the day there was a competition for composing the fight song, and the Minnesota Rouser won. A song called "Minnesota" came in second. Wisconsin needed a fight song at the time, so they took it and just renamed it "On Wisconsin"
Tennessee has the best good ole rocky top

Everyone always leaves out Navy, but their fight song is so nice.
ND, USC, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Navy, FSU
Something like that.
But add Ohio state and remove Oklahoma
I’m a Michigan guy, and although ours is legendary, Notre Dame, FSU, and Tennessee’s songs always send chills down my spine! Truly iconic.
WHAT ABOUT MSU!!! GO GREEN!
lsu's just gives me chills
Oklahoma is legendary too
Mich’s hardly took any work though…
But deep down, we all know Its USC!
NCAA football flashbacks hitting hard right now
ayo fr
Notre Dame at #20???? I am Texas Longhorn fan but in my humble opinion they have the best fight song.
2nd only FSU in my opinion. FSU's is distinct and intimidating especially if you hear it in the stadium
Boomer Sooner
That Bama fight song is pretty intimidating also the Buckeyes have a great one as well.
Emmanuel Kilat I am I big ohio state fan and I want to go their someday but they have one of the best marching bands in college football they got picked to play in the 2018 macys day parade that us how good they are
My school uses that song, I never realized it was from Notre Dame!
ND at 20 is utter blasphemy. It is easily top 5.
I know, Right? It’s only the most recognizable fight son in history lending to the fact that ND has been represented on the big screen more than any other team. Who made this list, the same old boys network who pick the FBS Top 20?
100% - I was thinking #1.
Agreed
I’m an Ohio State Fan but I’m very confused about the Notre Dame fight song is at #20 there fight song is one of my favorites
O-H
O-H
The whole state of Michigan
As a bama fan i gotta ask
Why is Tennessee so low?
Yah Tennessee’s theme song is so iconic
I am a bama fan too but as a band nerd I love rocky top.
@@ThomasW280 I didn't think Rocky Top was the actual fight in the first place. Don't they play another song first before Rocky Top when they score?
Oklahoma fan here, Rocky Top slaps.
@@harlanjewell6326 as a Tennessee fan I am very surprised to see bama fans giving us some love
Tennessee and ND should be much higher
My top 5 are ND, Michigan, Tennessee, Ohiostate, Oklahoma
Volticx 100%
Yes
@@Volticx. USC is in my top 5.
NO DAK!!! BISON BABY!!!
USC has the best Fight Song
Notre Dame has the most Iconic
Ohio State is my favorite
Justin Penn u speak the facts
Ohio states Fight son is awful
Michigan State is also quite iconic as my school band plays The Victors.
Two of those are bullshit, go ND
Random Poop thank you
USC is so awesome
As a USC guy, I can say that "The Victors" from Michigan is the best single Fight Song. We actually have three songs that we play during a game at SC - Fight On, Conquest and Tribute to Troy. Just for fun, we'll throw some Tusk in there as well.
oklahoma is iconic, florida state is intimidating and nebraska brings a smile to my face
Hi Obi-Wan Kenobi
Always loved the Texas Longhorns fight song--it's bawdy and brash (kind of like Texas itself!!) I always think of Foghorn Leghorn when I hear it LMAO!!
Florida State, Michigan, Oklahoma really stand out to me!
John Philip Sousa said The Michigan Fight Song "The Victors" is the best fight song ever written.
It’s so lazy
@@upbeatproductions7614 You're pretty lazy in that you keep making this same comment on this and other vids.
Sousa came from the state of Michigan….slightly biased, ya think?
It has always fascinated me that so many school fight songs sound similar... I have always wondered how many universities took an already popular fight song and simply changed a note or two
It's mainly the same keys and bpm leaving for a lot of similarities.
High school bands definitely do.
It’s that all American style
Michigan has a very unique fight song cause I think they use a wider variety of notes
Well, texas being the younger of A&M didn't have a fight song...so by 1927 took ours, Texas A&M Aggie War Hymn and just sped it up...along with "The Eyes of Texas" to the tune of I've Been Working on the Railroad" that's all they are. Most, if not all, the longhorns existence is a borrowing/ taking of other schools' traditions.
ND deserves WAY higher than 20, and that's not even the whole fight song!
I totally agree. ND top 3 easily
I’m not even a Notre Dame Fan and I completely agree Notre Dame deserves to be number one overall. The fact They rank so low is complete bullshit
Agreed, and I'm a Michigan fan.
Nice 2 hear these fight songs but did u put 25 names in a hat , draw them bottom 2 top
No way Notre Dame is 20. And USC is better then 10.
The junior high I went to used Northwestern's fight song as their own. Being a flute player I found it great fun to play, with all the trilling and stuff.
But Kudos on GT at #1. I'm playing a dynasty with them on NCAA14 and love this song. Not to mention, the song in a nutshell is about getting trashed. Nothing better than booze and football! haha
I might change the order a bit, but these are the best fight songs. Well done.
I'm old but Nortre Dame still has the best fight song ever.
I can agree although I’m a Michigan fan I think Michigan has the second best in the nation
My school has the same fight song
@@BigRL17 Michigan’s is so lazy.
Agreed
@@upbeatproductions7614 It is not
From a Bama fan, the top 4 should always be in some order Notre Dame, Michigan, Tennessee, FSU
CincyReggieMiller31 I agree except for Michigan. Maybe Georgia or Oklahoma in their place
CincyReggieMiller31 I hate you
I like that top 4
As a Tennessee fan I have to thank you
As a Tennessee fan myself, I agree 100%. But you’re a bengals fan, which makes me like you even more. Who Dey
Can't get enough of those College Football fight songs. Thanx!!!
Northwestern lowkey got one of the best fight songs 😳🔥
And oklahoma
Marshall was ok
Love Florida State's, being half Native American and going to a school where our mascot is also a Native probably has something to do with it lmao.
Kenni Cumberbatch Go Noles
Kenni Cumberbatch hey I'd really love to get your opinion on a team like the Washington Redskins? I have always been fascinated with Native American culture! I'm just curious on what your stance is about the name..

Thats not even their fight song you fucking idiot lmao
Yes! Ramblin' Wreck is the greatest fight song ever written! GO JACKETS! THWg!
That's the good word
Navy’s fight song is the most iconic military academy fight song and one of the best fight songs in the nation
I put them right behind Army.
I respect that
Wisconsin’s fight song sounds exactly like my high schools fight song but slower
Lots of schools use "On Wisconsin" - it's a relatively easy song to play.
Mine uses Northwesterns
Do you live in Wisconsin? I think a lot of high schools use on Wisconsin, I know mine does
Bruhh mine too lol and I live in Ohio
@@rmichels05 Wisconsin Rapids uses On Wisconsin. My high school uses The Mosinee High School Fight Song.
for some reason College Fight Songs gie me good happy vibes...this makes me happy
:)
Go big red
We Stan Nebraska
Go Cornhuskers.
FSU has by far the greatest fight song! It’s unbelievable!
Ryan Springer That’s not even their fight song
FSU band alum here to confirm, yep the song in this video is called the War Chant. The actual FSU Fight Song is also great! :)
Why the hell is Tennessee #21?
Tennessee fight song should be way higher
Rocky Top isn't even their fight song
Down the feild is there official fight song but I like both songs a bunch
Tennessee doesn't really score that much if at all so I guess the change wasn't that noticeable .....
Your right it shouldn’t even be ranked
This list is crazy, Notre Dame is clearly the most famous fight song of all time, even though I am all about Alabama. Roll Tide.
Idk why, but Purdues school song sent chills. Woo!
I love my Oklahoma Sooners but Notre Dame, Tennessee, Michigan and Colorado are all my favorite fight songs
Texas is better🤘
Must be a Georgia Tech fan that posted this!
Yeah, wish it was done by some professional who can accurately grade each and every one of these fight songs.
He is a nebraska fan
Fr Nebraska shoulda had #1
Nebraska’s isn’t even good and Georgia Techs is worse
Garrett Merkison absolutely now I’m an OSU so I’m might be a bit bias but OSU does have a good hype fight song in my opinion!
OSU’s fight song hits all the right notes
For those that like the Navy's fight song, I highly suggest listening to "Armed Forces Salute" all the way to the end.
The best fight song is whatever you like the best. It's that simple.
I love all the football teams!
Michigan State was my favorite from this list. Don't know why. I tend to like fight songs that are a little faster but this one stood out to me
Yay baby MSU all the way
GO GREEN!
It’s awesome!
Okay Boomer Sooner at #5? I'll take it. Thanks for recognizing the greatness of our fight song at OU.
We deserve #1 it’s the best fight song ever!! 😊
@@gonzo4hire1 You stole it from Yale. Shouldn't be on the list.
@@rjwiechman but Yale couldn’t make it famous like The University of Oklahoma
Notre dame is the nThe number one fight song at all the world
It's all subjective. Notre Dame's fight song is the first song that pops into my head when I think of fight songs.
Medford Area Senior High School uses Norte Dame's fight song. They're the Medford Raiders.
This One Is Missing A Few Like Clemson,Akron,And,UCF
College Football That’s It Really you’re so right! Akron’s is actually really good! They are a very underrated marching band
Agreed another unknown gem of a fight song is Youngstown state university
Tyler Church Yeah Does Youngstown State Has A Great Fight Song
Are you KIDDING!? NOTRE DAME #20!!! What a farce! I thought the Catholic-Haters had either grown up of died!
Arthur Ogden hahah lol
I love touchdown songs thank you.😄
Heck yes A&M above UT Austin any day. I have severe respect for Texas A&M as I grew up an Aggie but sadly do not attend college there.
Yes, the Aggie War Hymn that talks about UT more than it does about their own school. Makes sense since all Aggies ever think about is UT. 😂😂

2. Kansas State
3. Tennessee Rocky Top!!
4. Michigan
5. Texas A&M
6. USC plus “Tusk”
7. Oklahoma State

I’m very biased but that Husker fight song man, it’s got that umph ya know?
The Notre Dame Fight song is one the most popular songs in world after happy Birthday

seminars are pretty good. very original
Ohio State is my favorite fight song but Oklahoma’s was good too because I think of Good Ol’ JR
Top 5 should be Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Oklahoma.
Nixon sang the Georgia tech fight song once to a Soviet premiere. Nice...
geogia needs to be so much higher. i went to a georgia nebraska game when i was 8 and i still remember their fight song to this day. i thought it was so cool
“To Hell, To Hell To Hell With Georgia, The Cesspool of the South”.
It’s just the battle hymn of the republic
My list is:

Michigan’s sucks, it’s so lazy
We finished higher than Michigan so I’m satisfied. O-H!
I-O

USC. It’s unique. Powerful.
Michigan is the classic 3 strain march complete with dogfight. Very nice.
USC is by far the best fight song. I'm an LSU fan and don't really like USC but their song is just far, far better than any of the ones in front of them. You didn't put in the Fanfare or Tribute to Troy part of it, which is what they play 99% of the time, and it beats the pants off of everything else on that list.

what this tells me is that most of the best college fight songs are from the SEC and the Big Ten. Which is true.
Honestly Marshall’s should be higher
It wasn't on the official list
@@razorscooter6007 it should have made the list
I just realized this, so I went to Flower Mound High School, and part of Michigan University's fight song was used as the fight song for the Flower Mound Jaguars.
A lot of high schools do that my high school uses Michigan states fight song but were they say "victory for M S U" we just say RHS
i am a gator fan, but i think navy has the best damn fight song of all time
Florida State was just Tomohawk, which is pretty much used almost everywhere
Exactly it shouldn’t be that high on the list
Well FSU created the fight song and other teams used it
