The 25 Most Hardcore Fan Bases In College Football

Schools in the SEC and Big 10 have the most engaged fan bases in college football, according to a new formula by TicketCity.com.

The website released a list of the 25 most engaged fan bases in the sport this week. The criteria: attendance, home attendance, ticket prices, home ticket prices, attendance percentage, Facebook likes, and Twitter followers.

Based on that formula, the University of Michigan came out No. 1. Their chief rivals, Ohio State, came in at No. 4.

In all, seven Big Ten schools, ten SEC schools, three Big 12 schools, two Pac 12 schools, and three ACC schools made the list.

Here's the ranking:

1. Michigan
2. LSU
3. Alabama
4. Ohio State
5. Texas A&M
6. Nebraska
7. Oklahoma
8. Texas
9. Georgia
10. Florida
11. Penn State
12. South Carolina
13. Iowa
14. USC
15. Oregon
16. Michigan State
17. Tennessee
18. Wisconsin
19. Auburn
20. Clemson
21. West Virginia
22. Florida State
23. Missouri
24. Arkansas
25. Virginia Tech

It's a little skewed toward schools with large stadiums, but perhaps that makes sense.
