Found this on ESPN

http://sports.espn.go.com/sportsnation/story?page=ncaatraditionsvote

ESPN's SportsNation is partnering with EA Sports to give you, the fans, the chance to determine which school has the best tradition in college football!


Here's how it works. We've taken 16 of the best traditions from the college gridiron and put them in a bracket-style tournament to the death, in which your vote determines which tradition advances. Every Tuesday (at noon ET), we'll open a new round of voting until one school is declared the winner. The winning school will receive hundreds of copies of EA's "NCAA Football 12" on the day of game's release (July 12), courtersy of SportsNation and EA Sports!


So vote now, then tune in to "SportsNation" (4 p.m. ET, ESPN2) for voting updates.


And don't forget to share the bracket on Facebook and Twitter! #NCAAFootballTraditions

Yah I can see a lot of that from fans. No Va Tech, no Miami. Heck some of these are not even "traditions". I don't think of Bevo as a tradition, it is a mascot. And Tennessee is more known for running through the T then for their dog running out. West Va's rope? Who other then West Va fans or fans of a rival even knew about that until it was in the game last year?

All they added in are those that they changed in NCAA 12.

Actually not really, Michigans is the exact same as last year, unless there was a few very small tweaks I didnt notice

That's what was said on the Facebook page by SportsNation.

There's 1 more shot in the new one and the camera angle of them touching the banner is different.

Oh wow I didn't even notice my bad. They should focus on actually making the banner actually move when the players touch it as opposed to adding a new camera angle... Still I'm glad they updated it I guess

What's even more of a joke is how the voting is going to go down. People are going to pick the schools with better records rather than traditions.

The lack of the Rambling Wreck has got me confused, for 50 years the team has been led onto the field by the Wreck (1930 Model A Ford), and it doesn't get a place in this bracket.

And yet the dog that is constantly trying to go to sleep gets a spoA. Anyone else find it odd that a one-time incident (involving an Uga that is long gone) will now happen at the beginning of every uga home game in NCAA 12?

I admit I'm biased, but I don't think its too ridiculous to get at least a spot on this bracket, considering the uniqueness and length of this tradition.

Hell, not just the Ramblin' Reck, we have so many more traditions and 4 national titles spanning from 1917 to 1990. Link below has most of the traditions.

P.S. If you think I accidentally spelled Ramblin' Reck incorrectly, click the link below and read under the section Reck or Wreck.

We at least deserve a Top 25 spot. Some of the teams in the rankings have no tradition past 25 or so years ago.
