"Each county's color reflects the team with the most Twitter followers." Reddit Source.
Obviously not very scientific, but kind of a fun idea. I see you Arkansas, encroaching on our southern borders.

Shelby County is only blue because of Twitter for ObamaPhone.

I'd like to see how they did this. There is no way some of the counties they counted for Baylor or TCU or tech are anything but burnt orange.

Wow. Didn’t know Mississippi State would be that much more widespread than Ole Miss.

Interesting...
Looks like the Cowboys got all 100 people locked in Wyoming.

Springfield is more Mizzou and Arkansas country versus Missouri State.

Shelby county has more TN, Bama, OM, Arkansas and State fans than the Memphis Tigers.

So Oregon has the largest area. I am assuming that is Oregons yellow in Alaska.

It’s a fun map; but it’s a hot mess in terms of methodology.
I clicked through to the creator’s citations. Map colors were determined by a team’s number of Twitter followers. In many cases n=1 person.
That large swath of yellow in upper Alaska, for example? It was categorized by three Twitter users following Oregon; one following Alabama; and one following Clemson.
It’s an impressive effort, though!

LSU is the most popular team in Hancock County, Mississippi, and possibly Harrison County as well.
Auburn is the most popular team in Montgomery County, Alabama.

Actually up to date... would've expected more orange covering SC due to strong bandwagonism amongst Clemson fans with high school diplomas/GEDs. Might be giving them too much credit.. I'll drop it down to middle school education level.

I don't think this map is correct.
The state of Kansas for example. There is no way that the entire state is for K-State or Kansas.
If it was accurate, it would be the Manhattan as K-State, Lawrence as Kansas. Then the northern part of the state is Nebraska fans, and the southern part of the state is Oklahoma fans.

SW Missouri is basically part of the Borg like NW Arkansas growth at this point. I expect, in a decade or so, to see chunks of NE Oklahoma fully in the Hog camp as well. Not an insult to either Mizzou or the Okies, but the Hogs are the team of the Ozarkopolis and that is going to expand into the bordering regions of both states.
