Agreed, love the NFL on Fox theme, it always gets you pumped for some football.

[@davidjackino8831]

A variation of #17 is now used for the NCAA tournament since 2011. This theme is still used during the regular season.

[@danieldougan269]

Terrible rankings. The NCAA basketball theme should be at least Top 5. And no, I'm not just saying that because it's March. I look forward to hearing it every year. #1: Olympics #2: NBA on NBC ("Roundball Rock") #3: NCAA basketball (CBS / Turner) #4: Monday Night Football (ABC/ESPN) #5: Sunday Night Football (NBC) #6: NFL on CBS ("First on Field") ...

[@MattyVYT]

Number 1 needs to be a song that gets me hyped for whatever I’m about to watch. Nothing gives me that feeling like CBS College Basketball. Every time I listen to it it gets me hyped and excited. That is the number 1 theme on this list

[@hello-gp3we]

11. Mlb on fox sports brings back childhood nostalgia

[@rootsmanuva82]

NFL on FOX is a great theme. But it's diluted because FOX uses it in other sports as well. Most themes belong to a single sport that you can identify immediately, like the NBA on NBC... classic.

[@ptrap1106]

tank bowl

[@Oat_meal_YT]

NBA on NBC 😭 the memory! Also NASCAR has a theme for fox and they started using it again.

[@tombradystangoat4356]

Whenever I hear the NFL on FOX theme play then watching my Buccaneers jog out just gives me the best vibes ever. With my mom and dad sitting on the couch with snacks on the table and some drinks and get to watch football all day. But ever since I went to college I can't do that anymore and I miss it so much :(

Great list. The CBS college basketball, Fox MLB, and Fox NHL are particularly nostalgic. They bring back memories of watching Tigers, Red Wings, and Spartan hoops games with my dad.

[@escabasket153]

You missed ESPN Baseball Tonight. That’s a classic!

[@70humdinger94]

#10 (NCAA Football on CBS) was introduced as the theme for Super Bowl XXI (Giants/Broncos). Probably still brings a smile to Phil SImms - he was the MVP of that Super Bowl (also the first to say '"I'm going to Disneyland!:")

[@buckeyenation1681]

The order is the hardest part but I believe one key song that wasn't included I'd NASCAR ON FOX 2001-2007

[@FireboltPrime]

And 2016-

[@daillisteri]

Good list. I would have ranked # 15,16,17 higher. But it is your objective opinion. My favorite is a toss up between number 5 & 1. Since FOX got lazy and used your number 1for multiple sports; the edge goes to number 5. NBA on NBC.

[@70humdinger94]

#3 (Olympics theme for NBC) should be credited to ABC. It was theirs while they had the broadcast rights. NBC just reworked it a little.

[@BigfistJP]

It's pretty much been the same forever. I remember it back during the 1960 summer Olympics from Rome, and I think ABC did that one.

[@Bostonsportsfan30]

Great video!

[@nickalfidi3285]

But I think the theme that gets overlooked and is really good is the College Football on CBS. Especially when they use it for their SEC coverage I'm watching my Georgia Bulldogs, it's amazing. But in all good video.
