Which fanbase is hungrier for a football championship?

We Bama fans are always hungry for another trophy but right now I would exclude our fans from this discussion.
Let's also be real when deciding meaning that obviously the program has to have a realistic chance at accomplishing a title meaning that a blue blood program really will be hungrier than a Vanderbilt or Kentucky fan.
Football is like a religion in the south so I obviously know that most of us are proud fans and winning is important to us all. With that said, the fans who want a title the most will probably come from the following teams:
LSU
Auburn
Tennessee
Georgia
Ole Miss
LSU fans know that they underachieve practically every year with a loaded roster as talented as anyone else.
Auburn fans are more passionate about their team and want to win more than you guys know that don't live with them.
Tennessee fans have a great case here. They were once a consistent top ten team competing for titles ever year.
The winner of my vote however is Georgia fans. I mean they fired a really good coach and recruiter who hovered around 10 wins a year. They want some hardware and they want it bad. I think Smart may just deliver one.
LSU and UT fans file in at a tie for close second.
Thoughts?

we know it isn't Ole Miss, not with their 3 natty's and SEC West Championship banner...
just kidding, I would put the Rebs at a tie with UGA on the "desire" portion...

I'm biased, but I'd agree it's UGA. To have as many top ten finishes without a title over the past ten years is crazy.
Richt finished in the top 3 on 3 separate occasions. That kind of "close but no cigar" stuff has made UGA fans extremely hungry.

UGA and OM but UT may be right behind them.

I am going to say Arkansas.
Coach is hungry all the time
Football made from pig skin
Pork rinds are made from pig skin
Coach can eat some pig skins now

Let us suspend disbelief and act like 2003-2011 (2 Nc's and 3 SEC Titles) didn't happen.
Just like bama fans like to act like 1980-2008 ( 1 NC and 2 SEC Titles) didn't happen.

Got to be Georgia at this point. Its been 35 years since they won a national championship and in that time, every one of their rivals has won at least one while playing for two more. Whats worse for the Bulldogs is they operate in a talent richt state that produces so many NFL stars, yet they cant secure their borders. And even when they do, they underachieve. I kinda feel sorry for them. Poor guys

You guys tried to run off Miles bro. You are hungrier than most. Not long ago Bama would win this poll by a wide margin.

Alabama because Alabama fans stay hungry for championships.

OM is hungry to hang a legitimate banner.

I was 2 years old last time Arkansas won a conference championship.
1988 #12 Arkansas went 10-2, 7-0 in conference, winning the Southwest Conference.
1989 #13 Arkansas went 10-2, 7-1 in conference, winning the Southwest Conference.
Arkansas has to be near the top or at the top.

The obvious answer is Bert.

Vols are up there. We need this

You make a good case for the hogs. I really respect your program and fans. You guys are forced to play with one arm tied behind your back due to instate recruiting. I know it's hard to get guys from La and Texas right now. I like bert as a coach but I think you guys should go after a monster recruiter that is maybe a less of a coach than bert is.
Good luck next year, I would love to see you guys win a title.

I would say Arkansas but I'm sure they're aware they have no chance to win an NC pretty much ever.

I would agree Georgia is probably the "hungriest."
