20. Penn State

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder as some people look at Penn State’s helmet and see nothing more than a blank lid with a blue stripe down the middle. But its place in college football history cannot be denied.

19. Kansas State

The “Powercat” logo is not only marvelous, it’s light-years ahead of K-State’s previous helmet — “Cats” in script.

18. Old Dominion

A lot of people still don’t know Old Dominion has an FBS program. Well it does, and the Monarchs have the most regal helmets in the game.

17. Oregon

The Ducks’ base helmet with its matte green background and idiosyncratic block “O” is so sharp. We just wish they wore it more than once a year.

16. Michigan State

While the Spartans are always overshadowed by the Wolverines — even in helmets — MSU has arguably the best logo in college sports and an awesome helmet to boot.
