What makes a great college football name?
A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.
We went through every team in the top two divisions in the NCAA. We went through ever single name and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.
My name is Bobby Roberts, so of all the people who can write a post poking fun at names, it’s me. I’m always asked if my real name is Robert Roberts (it’s not) or if my name is fake (it’s not).
Here is the 2017-18 college football All-Name team.
We changed up the format from previous years and broke up the All-Name Team by position. You can check out previous All-Name Teams we’ve done for various college sports over the years, you can check them out here.
