I would assume this simply by percentage of TV viewers tuning into college football so the market size doesn't really matter. Just so it's big enough to be considered a market.

Besides New Orleans out of vacation curiosity, that Top 10 is basically "Top 10 places nobody wants to go to unless they must."

Birmingham tops the list despite being such a relatively small market
What does Birmingham being a small market have to do with anything?
It's the percentage of households watching not the total number of viewers.

Dsmn, bravo Oklahoma...two cities in a smaller State. Impressive.

That is a little misleading since their graph is based on percentage of viewers, not total viewers like it implies.
