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

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

Nat Gas Man

Plus mid major doesn't exist in football

BYU '80

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

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
