Most Dominant College Mascot on Earth: Spartans vs. Boilermakers

Michigan State Spartans (1) vs. Purdue Boilermakers (8)

Voting results: Michigan State Spartans - 50.2%, Purdue Boilermakers - 49.8%
Total votes: 158,821

First, let's clear up a few things. Purdue's mascot is the Boilermaker Special, which is a train, not Purdue Pete, which is a real boilermaker. With that being said, it's too late to move the Boilermakers to the Inanimates Region, so they will stay here in the Human Region. And with a little imagination -- we will say Purdue Pete is DRIVING the train.

As for this matchup, many of you Michigan State fans said the logo doesn't do the mascot justice, because Sparty is the real face of the school. I'll agree with you there, he looks pretty intimidating, but can he stop a train? Despite that train looking like it goes putt-putt around the neighborhood at kids' birthday parties, Purdue Reamer Club's Kelsey Habig assures me it goes 65 mph and it's a "big, mean driving machine."

I didn't think it was that hard to derail a train, but the Seminoles couldn't do in the first round. Can the top-seeded Spartans? It's up to you.
