Atlantic Coast - Wake Forest "Demon Deacons"
I feel like Wake Forest is going to **** for this one.

Big 12 - Nebraska "Cornhuskers"
If you see a big boy from Nebraska and proceed to call him a cornhusker, I could see it getting scary but as a mascot, no.

Big East - Rutgers "Scarlet Knights"
This screams harlequin romance novel to me.

Big Ten - Illinois "Fighting Illini" or Penn State "Nittany Lions"
A fighting Illini doesn't intimidate the way a fighting Irish might, unless they are from the wrong side of Chicago and WHAT is a Nittany Lion?

Conference USA - Tulane "Green Wave"
I always thought Grundy, VA had the lamest mascot around with the Golden Wave and this is a verrry similar premise.

Mid-American - Kent State "Golden Flashes"
Now you see it, now you don't? What's scary about that?

Mountain West - TCU "Horned Frogs" or Utah "Utes"
This is self-explanatory.

Pac 10 - Arizona State "Sun Devils" or Oregon "Ducks"
What is a sun devil and how fierce can a duck be? The Mighty Ducks were awesome, Oregon Ducks not so much.

Southeastern - Alabama "Crimson Tide"
In the SEC, this is one of few mascots that is not an animal but by far the least intimidating name.

Sun Belt - North Texas "Mean Green"
How mean can green be?

Western Atlantic - Utah State and New Mexico State "Aggies"
Both established in the same year and both came out "Aggies". Just seems a little unoriginal by this point.

CONFERENCE TEAM NAME MASCOT
ACC- Terapins Chief Osceola
BIG E- Friars Providence Friar
BIG 10- Buckeyes Nittany Lion
SEC- Gamecocks Big Al
C-USA- Green Wave Tulane Pelican
MAC- Zips Basketball head guy (CMU)
BIG 12- Cornhuskers Cy the Cardinal
PAC10- Trojans Cardinal Tree
WAC- Aggies (pick one) Buster Bronco
MT. WEST- Utes Aztec (STSU)

Now i know many of my picks can be criticized but here is justification on the names. Terapins (its a turtle), Friars ( pretty self explanatory), Buckeyes (its a nut), Gamecocks and Trojans (taken out of contest these two can make for some good jokes), and all the others lets be honest they are just terrible names. As far as the mascots i dont like Big Al, Tulane Pelican, Cy the Cardinal, or the Cardinal tree because they are confusing when you look at the actual name of the team. Chief Osceola and the Aztec because im a fan of a costume not a guy dressed in indian clothes, although Chief Osceola riding in on the horse is pretty cool. Buster Bronco has a comical face, the Nittany Lion could be a bear, cat, dog, you just dont know, an if you havent got a chance to see a picture of the providence friar DO IT, hes hilarious. The basketball head guys is just very unoriginal, plus CMU has had so many mascot issues its ridiculous.

Tribe,
The Utah Utes makes sense. Kind of like the Wolfe County Wolves or the Red Bird Cardinals.
