Title: The Most Unique College Football Tailgates Revealed
From grilling, to trains, to boats… college football fans love to get creative with their tailgate plans. Mackenzie Salmon highlights the three most unique experiences from across the country.
Ranking the top 3 most unique tailgates in college football has revealed some truly standout traditions. As the 2023 season wraps up, fans have enjoyed wild finishes and near misses, but little actual chaos.
In the US LBM Coaches Poll heading into conference championship week, the top three teams are Georgia, Michigan, and Washington. Georgia remains on top with 59 of 63 first-place votes, followed by Michigan at No. 2. The Wolverines claim the remaining four No. 1 nods after staving off Ohio State, which falls to No. 6. Washington leapfrogged Florida State for the No. 3 spot, positioning both teams in a ‘win and you’re in’ position for the College Football Playoff.
Texas stays ahead of Alabama at No. 7, though Longhorns’ fans will be eager to see whether the College Football Playoff committee agrees with the coaches when those rankings are unveiled. Missouri and Penn State round out the top 10 as Louisville slips to No. 14 after falling to Kentucky.
James Madison rejoins the poll at No. 25 and also received the good news that there is room in the bowl lineup for them. Meanwhile, Kansas State, which lost a wild affair to Iowa State in the snow, is the week’s lone dropout.
As the 2023 season comes to a close, college football fans can look forward to the unique and creative tailgates that will surely be a highlight of the upcoming bowl games and playoff matchups.
