USA Today's Most Overrated Fan Bases


Good Lord have we run out of things to rate? What would exactly make a fanbase overrated? Where are the initial ratings on which these are based?

While the "USA Today most overrated fan bases" list is totally overrated, I feel like "which SEC fanbase has the hottest girls" is slightly underrated and should be moved up a few spots, but not quite ahead of the "which is the best SEC college town" ratings.

Overrated Florida fans enjoy 3 National Championships in the last 2 decades.

I know. His explanation for Florida was: "Can you believe it’s been six years since Tim Tebow played football at Florida? – MF"

Brilliant piece of journalism


He should have mentioned the $5 tickets

Pretty amazing that after 5 years of shitty football we still have so many haters. We must have done something right.

That may have been a bit much


But having a lot of fans and money doesn't make you a great fan base. So I stand by that part.

That's usually how it goes. Other fanbases hate the more successful ones.

How can you rate a fan base overrated if it doesn't exist? #theU

They sold out every game the year they went winless. That's a pretty committed fanbase. Not saying it's better or worse than Tennessee though. Y'all travel better than any team in the SEC.

I sort of agree with Florida being on that list. The fans don't travel well. The BCS championship game vs. Ohio State was dominated by Ohio State fans. The most recent SEC championship games vs. Alabama were basically home games for Alabama.

I have tickets to 4 UF home games this year and UG in Jax and will drive 12 hours one way on Friday after work to Gainesville, and will return on Sunday except for labor day weekend when i will drive home on Monday, so I beg to differ.

I think what he is saying and most of us objective Gator fans can say is that as a whole we don't travel well. Yes there a plenty of Gators out there that make every single game home and away year in and year out. But generally we are a fickle group.

I'm all for laughing at Florida, which is scientifically the worst state in the country, but this list is stupid as hell.
