Alright, let’s dive in. You know college football, right? It’s got that vibe, those Saturday shivers, and oh — the helmets. Can’t forget those. So, ESPN decided, “Hey, let’s rank the top 11 college football helmets.” Wild, right? Some usual suspects made the cut. Michigan’s winged classic and Oregon’s… I dunno, it’s like Phil Knight’s playground over there at this point. But then — plot twist — one spot, up for grabs, fan choice. A real “choose your own adventure” moment.
Here’s the list: Clemson, TCU, Oregon, Florida State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, SMU, UCLA… But who took the crown? Honestly, it got folks all hot and bothered, debatably more fired up than a grill at a tailgate.
Let’s talk tweets because Twitter was buzzing. UCLA got all cheeky with “You know who!” Arizona State’s like, “Easy peasy for us.” Tulane? They’re like, “Hey, look past your Power 4 — we’ve got the magic helmet here.” Spicy takes, right?
A Gator grader pointed out, “Not even on the graphic, what gives?” Classic. And some USC loyalist declared theirs was top-dog material, hands down. Then there was this gem about Notre Dame’s helmet: “Looks like Michaels’ craft supplies!” Someone’s staying salty — or glittery?
Then there’s Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, and Notre Dame cropping up — usual suspects, no surprise there. Though someone did give love to Penn State’s lid with a chuckle. Unexpected, huh? And talk about Clemson being a head-scratcher. Really made everyone go “huh?”
Auburn fans cried foul, of course — their “stormtrooper” lid deserves honor, they say. Honestly, helmets might just be football’s fashion runway, right?
So, Saturday rolls around, and every team’s got a shot — the ultimate helmet show-off. What’s your take? Who’s helmet royalty, and who’s riding the overrated train? Spill it in the comments, why don’t you?
