"Look better?" Define "better?" I completely understand how smaller states will have higher percentages of stadium attendees. That doesn't make the information any less interesting
Yes, it does make it less interesting. The states at the top of the list are some of the least populated states and the states at the bottom of the list are some of the most populated states.
The numbers mean absolutely nothing, which makes the list not interesting at all.

No, they do mean something. There is an interesting correlation between states with low populations and college football fandom. Notice, I said nothing about causality, but the two certainly correlate.

That list you provided gives us absolutely no insight to a particular's state interest in CFB.
Per that list, Wyoming has way more interest in CFB than the state of Florida. You believe that?

Ok, my fault, the list that you say "mean something. There is an interesting correlation between states with low populations and college football fandom. Notice, I said nothing about causality, but the two certainly correlate"
According to you, there's a correlation between that list and the level of fandome in those states. According to you, people in Wyoming care more about football than the people in Florida.
You believe that?

Well then you're understanding of statistics and their significance is poor.
Uh whattt? My understanding is that 80,000 seats in our stadium > 60,000 in your stadium thus more $$$ in our Universities pocket > than yours.

So FL doesn't love football as much as Utah does???
Utah only has 2.5 million people and BYU and Utah have good attendance.

I'd like to know how many of Florida's 18.5 million people were actually born there and grew up fans of one of Florida's D-1 football programs.
