Ranking the top 10 College GameDay signs from the 2015 season
By Andrew Olson

The signs have become one of the primary reasons to get up for ESPN’s College GameDay every Saturday.
Graphic prints have become more elaborate, and students have no shame in painting the rival school’s star players as losers, failures and social outcasts. If it’s clever enough, even a simple, clean text-based sign can still do the trick.
Here’s a rundown of the top 10 GameDay signs from the 2015 season:
10. It’s been a long time since Michigan won the big ten

An effective way of reminding your rival things have changed since it was on top.
9. Baylor Bears can’t handle big bowls
GameDay visited Forth Worth, Texas in Week 1 for Alabama vs. Wisconsin, but that didn’t stop TCU fans from trolling rival Baylor about its Sugar Bowl collapse last season.
8. Les, we poisoned the grass

How nice of this Alabama fan to look out for LSU coach Les Miles.
7. Tennessee would like to change the game of football to only three quarters:
The Volunteers squandered fourth-quarter leads in losses to Oklahoma, Florida, Arkansas and Alabama.
6. Can’t feel your face after taking a stiff arm

Excellent use of a blown-up graphic and a popular song (The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face”).
5. At least this Hurricane won’t lose to Cincy

One of the low points of the Miami Hurricanes (8-4) season was a 34-23 loss at Cincinnati (7-5).
4. Paul Finebaum, or Master of Disguise?
From the eyes up, Finebaum was a perfect fit on the Dana Carvey character.
3. Real men cry to Rinaldi

You’re lying if you’ve never felt it get a little dusty in the room during one of ESPN reporter Tom Rinaldi’s segments.
2. Jim from Michigan

State Farm’s “khakis” advertisements made for the perfect way to poke fun at Michigan’s khaki-wearing coach, Jim Harbaugh.
1. Army can’t string together three W’s
Many fan bases recycled the same cliched insults week to week, replacing the butt of the joke with their rival. This midshipman really zinged Army in a clever, factual way.
