Get pumped up: Best college football hype videos starring Bama, Buckeyes and AP Top Ten

Another season of college football is kicking off and that means a new batch of hype/pump-up videos have been popping up on YouTube in anticipation of Labor Day weekend’s many gridiron battles.

While not at the level of last year’s tilts between titans, the 2017-18 season still has a couple top-flight battles to offer up in the opening week. On Saturday, we have No. 11 Michigan vs No. 17 Florida in Arlington, followed later in the day by No. 3 Florida State vs No. 1 Alabama in Atlanta.

Here we present the most popular hype videos for each team in the AP Top Ten, starting with the Crimson Tide, who will be looking for their fifth championship in the past ten years. In the past, only Ohio State produced its own hype videos, while other schools — despite multi-million dollar budgets — have relied on fan-made productions.

Bama fan Winn Spivey produced a video Crimson Tide hype video chock full of defensive highlights and set to Queen’s iconic anthem “We Will Rock You.”
