Halloween's best college football costumes

Halloween has come and gone, but plenty of you paid tribute (or poked fun) at various folks around college football with your costumes this year. These are the best of the bunch. Thanks to those of you who tweeted them my way.

WARNING: There are a lot of cute kids to follow. Brace yourself.

I noticed a trend this year: A lot of you want to be Kliff. You're not fooling anybody, guys. This is a blatant attempt to attract women. It also takes no effort. Find a headset, some hair gel and Frogskins and you're done. Step your game up next year, guys.

Red Lightning! This is my official pick for 2014's winner. In my minds eye, I trust he sprinted everywhere he went and if he ran into any guys dressed up as Jameis Winston, made sure they had everything they needed.

Major points for originality--and also restraint for not painting your baby's face gold.

I don't normally approve of mixing small children with big guns, but this was pretty cute.

Longsleeves! Josh Lassiter takes home second place this year, behind Red Lightning.

Schnelly gonna Schnell.

That's a strong Halloween-themed Chrome Dome.

I don't know if this counts or not (it's from a Baylor fan, so it's close), but it's too adorable not to include. I don't have any kids yet, but when I do, there's a good chance 60 percent of their wardrobe their first year will be various fuzzy animal costumes.

No pair of khakis has ever looked more like they cost eight dollars.

Not bad, but nobody's topping the original Baby Dana.

This one, from a Texas Tech fan, felt a little mean, but the effort and sacrifice in taping a bench to your body did not go unappreciated.

Unoriginal, guys. Step your game up.

The laminated play sheet stuffed in the pants really makes this one.

Bryce Petty looks smaller than I remember.
