The Top TEN College Football Traditions......

10. The Cadets' March, Army
Located on the banks of the Hudson River, Michie Stadium is a beautiful place to spend a fall day. One of the grander moments: watching almost 4,000 West Point cadets march into the stadium.

8. The Bonfire, Texas A&M

7. Planting the spear, Florida State

6. Ralphie's Run, ColoradoFor 40 years, a buffalo has sprinted onto the field at University of Colorado home games, trailed by the school's football team. Ralphie IV is 1,200 pounds and she can reach speeds of 25 mph.
5. 'We Are . . . Penn State,' Penn State

4. The Grove, Ole Miss

3. The Irish Guard's March, Notre Dame

2. Dotting the I, Ohio StateThe Ohio State Marching Band plays "Le Regiment" and spells out O-h-i-o in script lettering. The drum major points to the top of the 'i,' and a fourth- or fifth-year sousaphone player dots the 'i,' doffs his hat and bows to each side of the stadium.
1. Running Down the Hill, ClemsonThe greatest entrance in college football sends 83,000 fans at Memorial Stadium into a frenzy. Players gather at the top of the east end zone's hill and touch Howard's Rock. A cannon is fired, and the players sprint onto the field. "It's the most emotional experience I've ever had," former Clemson All-American Michael Dean Perry once said.
