Cinderella teams/BCS busters always pick up a lot of national Facebook likes...

So is this map just based on Facebook likes?

Never mind. I just saw the fine print in the image.

Yeah once you see "college football likes" of that team, you realize how dismal

No way the U of A is a more popular FB team than ASU

yea, I was raised in AZ and for football, ASU has always been a bigger deal

Yeah, it's based on Facebook likes, so not exactly scientific...

Jimmer this poll and have BYU come out on top in 5-6 Western states

Nat Gas Man

3/27/17 10:23pm

Except it looks like it's only showing each state's most popular team within

fredgarvin

3/27/17 10:26pm

but couldn't CB Jimmer the poll from each state?

Nat Gas Man

3/27/17 10:28pm

Arizona over ASU? I saw an out of state team bring more fans to PHX than UofA

Arizona outdrew ASU last year while the stadium was being renovated

I doubt that UNR is more popular that UNLV

Utah = only PAC 12 team to not beat out the mid major in their own state.

RalphWiggam

3/27/17 9:12pm

Always a losing argument for Utah fans who say "BYU is just a mid-Major"

jrifkin48

3/27/17 9:19pm

Plus mid major doesn't exist in football

BYU '80

3/27/17 9:49pm

Who brought USU into this discussion? BYU certainly isn't a "mid major" 👌👍

Does Wyoming have another football team?

Let's Go Bucs

3/27/17 9:12pm

I don't think they even have another 4 year school

BYUFam1

3/27/17 9:17pm

Technically, they have 3. Practically, just the 1.

RebelScum

3/27/17 9:21pm

If UoP is considered one of those 3 that is sad...

BYUFam1

3/27/17 9:23pm

It is, which is why I differentiated between technically and practically.

RebelScum

3/27/17 9:30pm

Smart if so...Montana has a problem with too many 4 year schools

jrifkin48

And airports. Have u seen how many Skywest flies to its bananas.

Idaho, Arizona, and...Nevada?

YIsForBrigham

3/27/17 9:25pm

I would say #2 in Idaho and Wyoming, and probably Hawaii, too. I would guess BYU is #3 in many states in the West

Miss. State is more popular than Ole Miss, huh?

MSU Football likes 166K; ole miss football likes 159K. Based on FAcebook likes

I'm pretty sure that UNC carries Carolina, not State.

I agree we are, but some of those other states I think are off.

I doubt the yewts are that popular in the backwoods areas

Harrison0Yfan

No NYT article on sports following has ever been accurate in any state
