well, now it's settled. Here's a link to the Top 100 (I only copied SEC teams below.)

https://www.sportspagemagazine.com/content/header/features/the-top-100-college-nickn-4.print.shtml

11 - University of South Carolina "Gamecocks"
20 - University of Arkansas "Razorbacks"
63 - University of Tennessee "Volunteers"
76 - Vanderbilt University "Commodores"
95 - University of Mississippi (Ole' Miss) "Rebels"
98 - Florida "Gators"
100 - University of Alabama "Crimson Tide"

Then there are the rest, outside the Top 100.

Dogs - incredibly boring;

With only a handful of notable exceptions, schools featuring any of the above as nicknames/mascots have absolutely no imagination whatsoever. They are only masquerading as institutions of higher learning when they can't come up with anything more stimulating than that. Please deliver us from Bulldogs, Eagles, Indians, Devils and Wildcats of most any kind. Boooooor-ing!

Really? Tell me about the competitive advantages of striking fear into opponents with a mascot.

Methinks the powers that be at LSU back in 1892 should have contacted SportsMagazine.com's site content manager at the time - Heathliff McDusseldork, and let him know that the "Fighting Tigers" moniker was adopted from a regiment of Louisiana soldiers who distinguished themselves in battle and were were called the 'Fighting Band of Louisiana Tigers.'


That, and a 750 pound live Bengal/Siberan Tiger beats ANYTHING.....

The ranking you posted is definitely not definitive. It is one person's personal preference
