There are some fun and incredible traditions in college football, and a number of them come from the SEC.

This week, Sports Illustrated ranked the 10 best traditions in all of college football, and three SEC traditions were included in that list.

As you can see below, rolling Toomer’s Corner at Auburn led the way for the SEC at No. 5, followed by the 12th Man and cowbells:

  • No. 5 — Toomer’s Corner (Auburn)
  • No. 6 — 12th Man (Texas A&M)
  • No. 8 — Cowbells (Mississippi State)

Oklahoma’s “Sooner Schooner” took the top spot. Miami’s turnover chain was included, which is a recent tradition. We’d have liked the Iowa fans’ wave to the children’s hospital to get some love, too.
