Top Ten NCAA Tournament Mascots We'd Take in a Fight

With the NCAA Tournament coming up, brackets are being filled out by the millions and everyone is looking for that little extra competitive edge that may give you the office pool title. Strategies are a personal thing and the very idea of sharing your own bracketology with anyone else is absurd.

But, if you find yourself faced with a difficult match up, some people use the mascots as a way to determine the winner. Basically, in a fight between the team's mascots, who would win is who you should choose as the winner of the game. So with that in mind, here are the top ten mascots who we'd take in a fight.

10. Tuffy the Titan
Cal State Fullerton

Tuffy is considered a rouge elephant in these parts which means he is considered violently aggressive and capable of flattening entire suburbs while killing anything in his path.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

9. The Leprechaun
Notre Dame

If you've ever seen the movie 'Gangs of New York', you know how members of the Dead Rabbits roll. This guy will knock your face in with a spiked club and fish-hook your girlfriend faster than you can say 'aye.

8. D'Artagnan
Xavier

This swash-buckling mascot is smooth with the ladies and quick with a sword. He may not brush his teeth or shower very often, but when it comes down to going toe-to-toe with a mascot like the Oregon Duck we like the smelly Frenchman.

7. Blue Devil
Duke

While Duke itself is kind of like the Yankees of college basketball, we have to admit the idea of staring down a fight with the devil, albeit a blue one, does not sound very enticing.

6. Ribby the Razorback
Arkansas
That my friends is Hogzilla.
Exhibit A for why you don't want to f@#* with Mr. Razorback.

5. Joe Bruin
UCLA

Joe Bruin has a nasty reputation for ripping people's faces off and can only be defeated with a shotgun blast to his rear. You may see him often roaming the woods of California with his bald head held high in a show of power.

4. The Mountaineer
West Virgina

I think we all remember how Davey Crockett busted some skulls down at the Alamo. Appearances can be deceiving, and if you give this mountain man a couple of minutes to reload, and stood close enough, he would end you.

3. Tommy Trojan
USC

While the Trojans may not have been very bright - see Trojan horse incident - they were regarded as the premier force back in ancient times.

2. Hurricanes
Miami

Simply put, you have no chance against this beast. It can take out cities and wash away your entire existence.

1. Sparty
Michigan State

You all know the score.
300 Spartans against a Persian army 20,000 strong.
They may have lost, but the fact remains the Spartans would flex on any mascot or natural disaster like you could never imagine.
