  "account": "25. LSU Coach Ed Orgeron\nOrgeron's distinctive Cajun accent and Baton Rouge pride make him a standout among LSU coaches. His 2019 national championship team remains one of the best in college football history. His signature call, \"Geaux Tigahs!\" captures the essence of his coaching style.\n\n24. Oregon Mascot Puddles\nWhile Brutus at Ohio State is a strong contender, Puddles at Oregon takes the cake. The costumed Duck makes a grand entrance on a motorcycle, performs push-ups for every point scored, and brings a consistent presence to Autzen Stadium. A true embodiment of the Oregon spirit, Puddles deserves the top spot.\n\n23. Broadcaster Gus Johnson\nJohnson's call of Fernando Mendoza's touchdown pass to Omar Cooper Jr. at Penn State is a highlight of his illustrious career. With unbridled enthusiasm and a range of pitches, Johnson's voice is the perfect complement to the Big Noon Kickoff trio, which includes Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft.",
