College football social media has become its own battleground, and some programs embrace the chaos better than others.
Whether it’s rubbing a rivalry win in an opponent’s face, firing off a perfectly timed meme or simply finding the right words to twist the knife, the best posts can be every bit as entertaining as what happens on the field.
From powerhouse programs to Group of Five and FCS schools, these teams know how to get under their opponents’ skin.
And, just as important, how to get fans talking.
