I live about 45 minutes north of Atlanta in Forsyth County
So of course Georgia is the largest, but taking UGA out
Bama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia Tech


Even the Techies can't get any love in their home state

It's quite a mix here in Pensacola, too hard to come up with an order. Seems to be a solid mix of Florida, Bama, Auburn, LSU, and Florida Staters(not sec and dgaf).

3. Kentucky
4. Auburn
5. Vandy
6. LSU/Florida
7. Ole Miss
8. UGA

Little Rock, I would say definitely LSU, then Bama...a few Ole Miss and Tennessee, but that's about it. But my perspective may be skewed because I have friends from Bama, Ole Miss and Tennessee!

In Bella Vista/Bentonville I will say LSU/Bama, surprisingly I see several UGA stickers on cars.

Missouri was pretty non-existant but I have seen a few lately.

Where I'm from (College Station): LSU

Where I live (Oklahoma): Bama (believe it or not, it was that way before the hoopla this season)

Baton Rouge- rarely if ever do you see anything else. Non-LSU account for probably .01% of the population. If you do it's probably someone driving through: Auburn, Ole Miss, A&M.

Most, if not all, I know that went to other SEC schools, would consider themselves to be LSU fans regardless. You'll see auburn and ole miss more because that's where people usually go when they want to be different after they graduate. Usually, from what I've seen though, they all come back.

As far as New Orleans, am4titansandlsu is spot on. Obviously an LSU town, you'll see some ole miss stuff occasionally, and spotted Bama/Aubbie stuff.

Jefferson, Tx - A&M, Arkansas - but I am glad to say that LSU has very strong support here.

Northshore of New Orleans:

LSU Obviously. After LSU:

Bama has overtaken Ole Miss fans over the past 5 years. With every year that passes, I see more and more Bama fans. After Bama and Ole Miss, a mixture of Auburn and Florida fans.

Here is a NYT article that has a map to check regions and the fans there. It also ranks the school's popularity nationally.

This. I know a few who went to Ole Miss as well. I see the occasional Florida and Miss State sticker or gear also. Out of state there are a decent number of Aggies in Louisiana, Oklahoma, DC and Chicago that I know of. Any place near a military base or oil is also likely to have a good number of A&M grads

The Greater Nola area is mostly LSU. But I've definitely noticed a Bama trend within the past couple of years. Occasionally I'll see Auburn or Ole Miss car stickers.

In Nola, I'd say (aside from LSU) it's Bama, then Ole Miss, then AU. I see a smattering of UGA stuff but it's normally few and far between.

Truth be told, I see more Bama and Ole Miss stickers on cars than I do Tulane in the city unless I'm directly around the campus.

Greensboro, NC

Auburn by a decent margin. I do see Georgia, Bama, and Lsu people every once in a while. I even work with two other AU grads.
