The vast majority of any school's fanbase is going to be in the their home state. There are 19.3 million people in Florida, 4.8 million in Alabama. If 100% of the people in Alabama cheered for the Crimson Tide, only 24% of Floridians would have to cheer for the Gators to match that number. Earlier someone said it was 65/35 Bama, which is about 14% of Florida, UF certainly has far more support then that in Florida. I don't think it is a huge stretch to say Florida has the largest fan base, just because of sheer numbers in alumni and the population of FL.
True, in fact I would probably go #1 UF and then UGA #2. I am not sure of how much weight A&M has in Texas, otherwise they may be #2.

Same can be said for Georgia/UGA.

Bama has sleeper cells all over the world. REC will call to activate if they get wind of this survey.
