Okay, I had a strange idea in the shower this morning -- is Ohio State the only D1A team with a plant product for a mascot? Let's do a little research and find out:
B10: two cats, three rodents, four varieties of human, one bird-like thing and a plant product
B12: two cats, five varieties of human (includes land thieves), two bovines, a bird, a weather formation, and a member of the ursine family
BEast: two cats, a canine, a bovine, a bird and three varieties of human
ACC: one bird, one insect, one amphibian, one mythologial creature, one cat, one canine, one weather formation, four human caricatures, and whatever the f--k a Hokie is
CUSA: two cats, two birds, an equine, a bovine, two weather formations, three varieties of human, and a now-defunct Chevrolet SUV
Ind: three varieties of human and a bird
MAC: two birds, one cat, one bovine, one equine, one canine, one indian tribe, one ambiguous indian tribe/bird, two undefineables (Zips and Golden Flashes)
MWC: four varieties of human, one cat, one bird, one amphibian, one canine, one bovine
P10: two cats, two ursines, one canine, one rodent, one bird, one mythologial creature, one variety of human, and one color (unofficial symbol is a tree)
SEC: three cats, two dogs, one bird, one reptile, one pig, three varieties of human, and a fairly entertaining movie starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman
Sun Belt: five varieties of humans (including two teams named "Indians"), one cat, one bird, and an angry color
WAC: three canines, and equine, five varieties of humans (includes two "Aggies")
So, my shower theory was correct. The Ohio State Buckeyes are the only team in D1A who have a plant product as their official mascot. Stanford's tree is unofficial, though it's used as a symbol.
