The Capital One Mascot Challenge pits mascots against one another in an effort to prove which school has the best fans and best representative. Fans decide on the winner by voting and performing tasks through social media in order to earn points for their favorite mascot.
What does it all mean? Honestly, not much. But it has led to a series of really entertaining TV commercials and that's always something to be thankful for.
