That's A Wrap For The First-Ever College Game Day Championship!

Posted January 13, 2018

The new ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex Arena was filled with school spirit as Division lA teams took the mat in the first-ever College Game Day Championship.

Teams competing in this brand new division took their sideline traditions to the mat to display how they lead the crowd back home on game day.

During the championship, teams performed their traditional school's fight song, a situational sideline and a game day timeout routine. The athletes used signs, flags, megaphones and poms to encourage the crowd to cheer along. A few mascots even joined the teams on stage to help get the crowd pumped up for game day!
