Apparently we need to to bark in people’s faces even more
I’m highly dubious of their methodology but Tennessee and UF being outside the Top 20 does lend validity

Methodology
This dataset ranks 54 football teams in the FBS, based on how friendly their fanbase is. To do this, two different factors were used. Once the data for the factors was collected, the factors were then normalised, to provide each factor with a score of between 0 and 1. If data was not available, a score of 0 was given. The normalised values were then summed and multiplied by 5, to give each team a total score out of 10. The teams were then ranked from highest to lowest, based on their total scores.
The factors used were:
· Positive Reviews: The combined number of 4 and 5 star reviews for each team’s stadium on Tripadvisor. In the case of there being less than 10 total reviews or no stadium page for a team, we instead used Yelp reviews.
· Positive Sentiment: The percentage of positive social media posts which include the prompt “Team Name” between November18, 2023 and November 17, 2024, according to Brandwatch.

#2 Texas Tech - list is dubious

Alabama gets a double bump when it comes to actual gamedays at the stadium because (a) Big game crowds are generally the people who aren't crazy arse rednecks so visitors enjoy it and (b) visitors expect crazy arse rednecks so they are doubly surprised and happy that they had a pleasant experience and weren't subjected to the people they see videos of on Facebook.

Tech at #2 is hilarious. Far and away the most hostile fan base that I have ever experienced.

2-4 immediately invalidated the list.
I don't care what criteria they used, it's flawed as frick if tOSU ranks that highly...or even at all.

I explained this phenomenon in a thread a few years back:
quote:
There are obviously the stereotypical inbred fat rednecks whose IQ is barely high enough to be considered a living organism. These guys have tried every Stouffers microwave meal in history and have body imprints in their armchairs. This makes up roughly 50% of the fanbase. See pictured below:
Next, there are the neckbeards in their early 30s who graduated summa cum lardass at Bama and for some reason are really elitist despite making like 35k a year. They flex the fact that they aren’t total rednecks This makes up 25% of the fanbase.

Kansas State fans are Lsu bad. They suck. And TT lol they are horrible. Those 2 schools should be at the bottom of the list.

No errors noted.
Then there are 17% of the fanbase who are good natured, intelligent folks who are accountants and bank vice presidents and engineers who grew up Bammers, went to Alabama, live in the South and have season tickets and love the place. They grew up with the SEC, know everything, have buddies at work and from growing up that went to schools across the league. They are the folks you want to hang out with when you come in for a game.
Then there are 8% of the fanbase, a very new element, that are graduates from the last decade who are from elsewhere (NY, Chicago, LA, Fort Worth, even Atlanta) with no Alabama ties that came here in the OOS wave, graduated and stuck around the South somewhere (only Bham if in state - likely Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, etc). They are generally intelligent, have good jobs but are also just as obnoxious and irritating as the worst "Bama footbaw is my life" redneck. They likely irritate the 17% group above as much or more than they do you, the visiting fan.

I'll never understand why LSU fans don't make this kind of list

You essentially just shite on 99.9% of the UG fanbase. Yikes.

How does West Virginia make this list? Trash fanbase unless burning couches is your thing.

The big difference in UGA's fanbase is the 25% idiots with degrees that Alabama has are the same people in Georgia they just went to Georgia Southern, Kennesaw or Valdosta because they couldn't get in at UGA.
Everything else about them is the same.

WVU at #17?
Bull shite.
Golda Mier would have a warmer welcome at a Taliban mosque than any opposing fan has in Morgantown.

They may be counting the number of visitors who leave with the dreaded "Raider Rash STD." Friendly but a decent chance your genitals rot off.

Clemson and UGA Top 10?
Lol
Not even UGA fans will try to claim that to be factual. Woof woof
Any anyone who has ever attended a game in Clemson from a competitive perspective ... knows that's an out and out lie.
If you go to Clemson with a team capable of beating them, it's no holds barred shite show time. If you beat them then lookout. Prepare to walk the gauntlet back to your car.
Now, they're sweet as a puppy to Duke, Wake, FCS opponents, et al., because those teams offer no serious competition.
