The nine "Honorable Mentions": 0:00 - 11:54
"Top 25": Starts at 11:55
"Top 12"...the fight songs that are a cut above the rest (though all of these songs are good fight songs)...starts at 32:34
Some guidelines/notes about the video...
1. Includes schools based in the US only.
2. Only includes Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools.
3. A song doesn't have to be considered an "official fight song" to be included here (e.g. #8). However, it does have to be associated primarily with the school.
4. Fight songs are rated by the following criteria...
(A) How well-known the song is.
(B) Whether students/fans either actually sing at least some part of the fight song(s), or have a chant or gesture associated with the song(s).
(C) If the song(s) is (are) frequently played during the course of a football or basketball game.
5. #6 is what soccer fans would call an "anthem", which is that sport's equivalent of a fight song. #6 is not quite an actual fight song. However it's such a great anthem I could not leave it out.
6. There are actually 26 schools in the Top 25.
Finally, a big "thank you" goes out to particularly Ben McGallant Gallant (even with the typos) and excelsior27.
