Back before Imagine Dragons was sucking balls and Jonah and the Lion (wtf?) was making Imagine Dragons sound like Pink Floyd, televised College Football had some catchy theme songs. Which theme was your favorite and brings back the most nostalgia? These are a few examples I can think of.

SEC on CBS - Oh my, Verne Lundquist and Gary Daniels. I know this is the current theme, but every time I hear this I’m brought back to a time when Bama actually lost games and Tennessee football was a thing.

ESPN (mid to late 2000’s) - This one is pretty good. I don’t know why they went away from stuff like this and started playing shitty boy bands.

ESPN (later 2000’s)- Not as good as the previous theme IMO but it still sounds like college football, and it’s better than imagine dragons. Well... The sound of Taco Bell shits is better than imagine dragons.

ESPN (2000-2003) - This should bring back some euphoria for the Tiger fans on here as this is the time period LSU became relevant again.

ABC (1996 - 2006) - One of the best themes, the guitar kicks arse in this one. I member lots of good primetime football.

Old BCS theme - this theme is a classic high stakes battle on the gridiron. If you’re a hardcore CFB fan this really gets you pumped up.

ESPN (2015) - I don’t really like this one that much but at least it’s not Fall Out Boy or motherfrickin Jonah and the Lion.

ESPN (1999) - Retro as frick. This one is decent.

ABC (1994-1996)- this sounds like a Classic College football theme should.

Jefferson Pilot Sports - FTW this brings back memories of when Ole Miss’s stadium had a capacity of like 30,000, half the SEC sucked or was on probation, and Terry Bowden was wearing stupid arse flat bills.

SEC on CBS.

It was great even in the 80s, before CBS carried virtually all SEC games.

CBS stopped carrying CFB altogether from 1989-1995. They brought it back in 1996, thankfully.

SEC on CBS is the best without a doubt.

However, the mid-90s ABC theme was a great one, as well as the one preceding it from 1989-1993.

Honorable mention to the original Notre Dame on NBC theme from the 90s.

BCS ABC Theme

The old BCS theme on ABC starts at 35 seconds at the link above and it is the GOAT.

Sec/cbs because all they did is rip-off the classic NFL theme.

It was unoriginal and lazy and not about college... but it's the best theme song.

I don't know if the SECN has something like this, but i have always loved this "B1G Map" commercial on BTN. Its the greatest commercial they have ever made for the conference.
