Big Ten Fight Songs Ranked!

[@davidhart9007]

On Wisconsin is probably the most recognizable, mainly because it is used by more high schools as a fight song in the country than any other song..

Respect from an MSU fan🤝

[@ebaygriffinX3]

As a Ohioan that’s a big msu fan, I’m proud

[@cjpatterson2253]

Love the old-timey feel of all these songs!

[@cyberscouterz9006]

One gripe, I say this a lot because it can be confusing. "Maryland Fight Song" is NOT our primary fight song, it is a song that is exclusive to football. "Maryland Victory Song" IS the official fight song for our school. Confusing as hell I know

[@irahartoch1075]

Would love to see you redo this and incorporate the 4 new, West Coast schools. I don't think it is possible to separate feelings about each school (pro or con) so I would divide them into 3 tiers; Great, good, lame. Within each tier it is totally arbitrary imho as to the exact order. My tiers would be (and they are listed in the order of my personal opinion within each tier): Great: MSU, Purdue, OSU, Penn St., USC, and Michigan Good: Wisconsin, Northwestern, Nebraska, Iowa, UCLA, and Minnesota Lame: Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Rutgers

Good order of fight songs but here's how I rank them 1) Hail Purdue 2) Ohio State 3) Hail Victors 4) Michigan State 5) Wisconsin 6) Northwestern 7) Maryland 8) Illinois 9) Penn State 10) Minnesota 11) Nebraska 12) Iowa 13) Rutgers 14) Indiana

[@RonD937]

As much as I dislike Penn State, their fight song should be near the top.

[@nuniel8398]

Why rank Penn State one of the lowest?

[@shade0762]

Biased... but I actually like Penn State Victory Song better than Fight On State ... both are far better than some of these other songs. Nebraska's sounds like a trash truck coming down the street!

[@aaronbovaird82]

Not a bad order, although I'd make a couple changes: 1) Michigan, arguably the best and most recognizable college fight song. 2) Ohio State, still one of the best and most iconic, just slightly less so than Hail to the Victors. 3) Purdue, a perfect fight song. Just not as well known as the first two. 4) Michigan State 5) Minnesota, good song. Weird lyrics. 6) Indiana, criminally underrated. I know no one agrees with me. 7) Iowa, good. 8) Nebraska, good. 9) Wisconsin, Well-known but meh. 10) Maryland, Tune is ok, lyrics are better. 11) Northwestern, snooze. 12) Rutgers, snooze. 13) Illinois, good tune but slows down mid-song multiple times. Difficult to get hype during a game for a song that slows down. Weird lyrics, Wisconsin and Princeton living in their head rent-free. 14) Penn State, ok tune (worse than Illinois tune), but also slows down. *Both Penn State and Illinois would move ahead of Wisconsin if they didn't slow down.

[@mikedemenchuk7717]

Yeah but the slow-down in Penn State's fight song is timed for when they kick the extra point, which is kind of awesome, especially when the slide whistle kicks in right after the ball goes through the uprights.

[@SharkTheTitanOfAmazingStuff]

14. Ohio State 13. Illinois 12. Northwestern 11. Rutgers 10. Indiana 9. Wisconsin 8. Iowa 7. Penn State 6. Minnesota 5. Maryland 4. Michigan State 3. Purdue 2. Nebraska 1. Michigan That’s my list. Maryland may be at number 5, but their fight song sucks.

[@yesiagree3970]

I love the Maryland fight song

[@cyberscouterz9006]

Someone from UMD here, as confusing as it is, the "Maryland Fight Song" is NOT our main fight song. It is a song use almost exclusively in football. The "Maryland Victory Song" IS our official fight song, and is a lot better than this one. confusing I know.

[@shade0762]

I think they like Iowa's because you hardly ever hear it

[@newyorker3556]

Michigan than Nebraska for me

[@williamdavenport9824]

I never cared for fight songs that slow down then start back up. PSU. Hail Purdue ❤

[@shade0762]

PSU is designed to be that way to allow for the extra point.

[@mattbrichacek8978]

Bro didn’t even pick the right fight song for OSU. Also Michigan is definitely not number 1.

[@Tayodope]

Mich is number one

[@lpnovi2409]

Michigan has the best fight song in college sports. Even OSU fans will admit that.

[@Mr.Skip_8]

Bro is probably a osu Fan and is mad because Michigan has the best fight song in the big ten!

[@WoodyJ98]

Across the Field is your fight song lol

[@millerbrian1]

Do you really not know the osu fight song? How ohio of you!

[@briantemke5123]

You misspelled obnoxious

[@shade0762]

This is a horrible list.... nationally some of the fight songs that you rank low are among the highest rated in the nation and Rutgers ... are you kidding? Clearly the worst!
