What makes college great? The people. The food. The drinks. The learning. The mascot?

Most colleges have a mascot that represents the university. For example, Penn State’s mascot is the Nittany Lion, and it's a tradition to honor it.

Below is a list of the top 10 college mascots. Did your school's mascot make the cut?

1. Georgia Bulldogs

If you don’t think Uga is the cutest dog in the world, you are seriously mistaken.

2. Oregon Ducks

The Oregon Duck is not only cute, but is also one of the best.

3. Penn State Nittany Lions

The Nittany Lion might not be the coolest or cutest mascot, but it holds a lot of tradition.

4. LSU Tigers

Mike The Tiger is a tiger. And who doesn't love tigers?

5. Texas Longhorns

Bevo is a live bull that goes to Texas games. Don’t mess with him, or you may have to pretend to be a matador.

6. The South Carolina Gamecocks

Cocky is a fighting rooster. The immature college students always seems to enjoy making fun of their mascot. But hey, I think it’s cool.

7. Washington Huskies

Harry The Husky is arguably one of the best dog mascots in the game.

8. USC Trogans

Ah, another mascot that immature college students like to make jokes about. Traveler is still a pretty cool mascot, despite being compared to a condom brand.

9. Florida Gators

There are two of them! Albert and Alberta are a power couple. You can’t beat having them both around.

10. Michigan State Spartans

Sparty is strong and muscular, everything a girl wants. If he were real, I’d probably pass him my digits.
