Missouri above Tennessee must be a typo. Neyland dwarfs Faurot for a reason imho

I don't think Auburn by size of fan base. Maybe but I can see an argument for where they are. I'm not judging the craziness of the fan base, but the size only.

Yep. I'm pretty confident that Bama is #1 and UT should probably be at least #6.

Talking about within their state, or universally? My personal rankings on page 1 are universal, hats and jerseys you see in airports and such.

While true, most of these students are still Mizzou fans. Nobody is actually a "full-time" fan of Missouri Western, Northwest, Truman, etc. Missouri State doesn't even have an FBS football team. They're secondary to Mizzou. Not saying I disagree with the notion that we don't get the full support of our population, but IMO you make it sound a little more drastic than it is. You see a few Sooners and Hogs here and there, but not "a lot" (at least where I'm from)

Tennessee had 104k+ stadium since the mid 90's. other SEC schools didn't catch up until 15 years after.

Also might want to add in this part of the state you'll find a lot of HOG and SOONER fans.

Swap OM and State and you got it. State has probably 50% of the State of MS, OM probably has 30% USM has 10% and Bama 10%.
LSU has a heavy presence in south MS as well. Hell, it's just as close to 65% of MS population as MSU and OM is...

I wasn't aware that our University sells Arkansas apparel?

Yeah, but now they have a hard time even putting 90,000 in the stadium. Their being down hasn't helped. But also I think the Titans have also put a damper on things. But they are still definitely better then 8th in the SEC.
