I would argue a few of these... but here you go:

1. Texas A&M 12th Man
2. Army – Navy game procession
3. Florida State’s Chief Osceola and Renegade
4. Ohio State dotting of the “i”
5. The Grove at Ole Miss
6. Tennessee’s Floatilla
7. Wisconsin’s “Jump Around”
8. Colorado’s Ralphie
9. Oklahoma’s Sooner Schooner
10. Clemson’s Howard’s Rock

What about Alabama annual collapse versus the Vols?

Or Tennessee's annual collapse versus Florida?

Phil Fulmer Sweating through his parka in November?

The Vol Walk.

Tally-Ho at USC.

2 Bits at UF.

I;m glad they ranked the 12th man #1, but its not. #1 is definitely the USC Cheerleaders.

Dotting the "I" is a stupid tradition.

I'm surprised they put nothing in the list about Notre Dame. Or the classic uniforms from Penn State.

There aren't any specific rivalry games either... I would count those as traditions.

I wouldn't count tailgating as a "tradition" either. 100's of colleges do that every weekend. Some schools do tailgating better then others, some do it with greater numbers then others. But is that really a tradition?

Amen to that.
