To be fair, Chattanooga is only 30 minutes from the Alabama border, but we have suburbs in Georgia so I thought there would be more UGA fans.

ohio is pretty much what i expected. they rule the state by far

 

[Notsince1985]

I'm surprised there are so few Clemson fans compared to USC fans

 

[pb5cane]

Fsu surprised me

 

[ProjectMKUltra5]

And UF in northern New England, now that defies explanation to me. Link to full article:

I wonder if Miami really dominates south Florida, as the article suggests. I haven't lived in south Florida for years, but my impression has always been that UF has a ton of fans in south Florida, and when FSU and UF come to play in Miami, they put a lot of fans in the stadium. i don't know if those are fans that travel down from up north or are resident to south Florida.

Florida Gators apparently have significant diaspora.

Zipcodes with few respondents are highly suspect. Without the raw numbers it probably doesn't mean much outside of high density populated areas.

 

[Kirijax]

Hmm...I guess I'm supposed to be a Gators fan.

 

[carolinacane]

As cool as the map is, it definitely is suspect. I mean, I know App State isn't exactly the powerhouse in FBS that it was in FCS, but I can't believe that more people in Boone would root for UNC than the actual school in Boone.

 

[Notsince1985]

I don't think Vandy dominates Nashville either
