In a recent NFL.com article, the top 15 mascots of the college football landscape were listed with no rhyme or reason as to how the list was formed. Here at DucksWire, we came up with our own list. We’ve only listed 10 mascots we thought were iconic in their own way or had some relationship to the University of Oregon.
While we left out Bevo of Texas or Wisconsin’s Bucky Badger, the two lists do have one thing in common. We agree that Oregon’s Duck is No. 1. Kirk Herbstreit said The Duck was the college version of the San Diego Chicken and is the only mascot to pick games on ESPN “College GameDay.”
Lists like this are subjective, and we probably missed a couple here and there, but here are what we think are college football’s best mascots out there.
