I've never posted on this board before but I often read the topics

I stole this from another board and thought it was interesting.

"Thought it would be interesting to see how each state ranked as far as the attendance goes when taking into account the respective state's population. I added up each states D-1 programs average attendance and then divided that number by the 2010 estimated population for each state. In other words (to a degree), what fraction of the population of any given state actually goes to games, or to stretch it even further...just how much does your state really love college football?

Here's the list..."

1. Nebraska----------0.0478 fans per game/total population
2. Mississippi---------0.0475
3. Alabama-----------0.0452
4. Utah----------------0.0450
5. Oklahoma---------0.0437
5. West Virginia------0.0437
7. Iowa---------------0.0387
8. Louisiana----------0.0379
9. Wyoming----------0.0352
10. Kansas-----------0.0345
11. South Carolina---0.0332
12. Idaho-------------0.0293
13. Tennessee-------0.0289
14. Arkansas---------0.0287
14. Indiana-----------0.0287
16. Hawaii------------0.0283
17. Kentucky---------0.0248
18. North Carolina---0.0238
19. Michigan----------0.0229
20. Colorado---------0.0218
21. New Mexico------0.0216
22. Ohio--------------0.0201
23. Washington------0.0180
24. Florida-----------0.0175
25. Texas------------0.0165
26. Arizona----------0.0153
27. Nevada----------0.0152
28. Georgia----------0.0147
29. Virginia----------0.0145
30. Wisconsin--------0.0142
31. Pennsylvania----0.0141
32. Maryland---------0.0134
33. Missouri----------0.0110
34. Connecticut-----0.0109
35. Minnesota-------0.0100
36. California--------0.0087
37. Illinois-----------0.0076
38. New Jersey------0.0056
39. Massachusetts---0.0054
40. New York--------0.0042

If UAB was worth a crap or if Auburn sold out all their games, we'd be number one.

Someone went to a lot of trouble to compile this. It's an interesting read.

I wonder how Nebraska can be #1, they only have 1 major program with a decent sized population.

Very interesting thread...This proves what I have always thought about Arkansas fans...We show up great per capita ...even in lean years and including WMS in the stats.

There is a slight problem with merely dividing the population of a stte by game attendance- it doesn't take into account the number of fans who drov in from other states to see the game. For some states, I woul think this would be significant (I'll bet alot of the attendees at a Notre Dame game do not live in Indiana)

Yeah I've been reading topics on this board for a couple of days and wanted to make my first topic something of substance and not look stupid with the same old bashing state and arkansas
