re: What percentage of your fanbase has ever set foot in a classroom at your school?

We talking the Rant or in general? Almost every Auburn fan I personally know spent at least some time at Auburn, but that's because I met them all there and didn't know any before.

Correct. You use anecdotal evidence to draw a conclusion. My social/professional circle is 95% college grad. The state of Alabama is only 32% graduated college.

I've seen some Facebook groups that would very much prove the point that all Auburn fans are not alumni nor was anybody in their gene pool.

Don't know, but it's a hell of a lot more than for Alabama.

Completely anecdotal, but my experience living in Mississippi but being an LSU grad, the vast majority of LSU fans I meet in professional settings in MS actually attended LSU.

The vast majority of professionals I meet that are Bama fans did not attend Bama. As a matter of fact, several attended other SEC schools.

Again, anecdotal to my experience, the non-Bama grad Tide fans also seem to be fans of the Yankees, Red Sox, Patriots, Warriors, etc.

I actually don’t have a problem with front-runners as long as they are honest about being front-runners.

Do the non-educated folks in MS all pull for Ole Miss?

Yup. Ole Miss was good at football during the integration era and made a massive push against segregation (they had to bring in the National Guard). Thus, old rednecks loved them. Those old rednecks pass down the love for "their school" to their children and them to their children, etc. So you have a bunch of uneducated white trash hicks that absolutely love Ole Miss due to the perception of what they think it stands for.

Actually its not. Bama and Auburn have roughly the same number of living alumni (though Bama is increasing at a higher rate). By percentage its probably a three to four point difference.

Most of our fans either went to State or their kid is first generation college student so their parents pull for state.

Completely false. You also have one of the smallest alumni bases in the SEC

This actually shows percentages for each of the power 5 schools. Interestingly, UGA has a lower percent (7%) than Bama (8%). Aggies win with the highest percentage of 57%. AU is doing pretty well at 20%.

There is absolutely no way to even calculate this accurately. It's a bullshite statistic.
