Top 10 College Football Fanbases Named By Emory Sports Marketing Analysis
The SEC and Big Ten have a strong showing in the top ten college football fanbases, just as they did in the Princeton Review’s top party school list. Still, the University of Texas is unsurprisingly number one on the list. That is especially unsurprising when you consider that revenue was a big factor in the rankings. Notre Dame is on the list as well. I’ll give it to Fighting Irish fans; they may not tailgate very well, or party hardly at all, but golly gee do they sure love football! The dark horse on the list is the University of Washington at number ten. Surprised to see them there, but hey, congrats.
Here are the full rankings below. Feel free to use the comments to explain why people who did actual research on the subject are wrong.

How is Oklahoma not on here? And at the OU/TX game, the Texas side isn’t even full capacity til after kickoff. Fuck this list.

13 years ago at 1:40 pmThe fact that Kentucky isn’t on here is absurd. They call it Big Blue Nation for a reason..

13 years ago at 3:29 pmThough Bacon is a huge piece of shit, its not like he picked these teams based on popularity. These teams were ranked from a Marketing perspective only. i.e. how much each team as a “brand” is worth vs. how much is put into it.
