The Best College Football States
-
Perhaps one of the ways to measure a state as a good college football state is to look at the number of programs that play football in that state.....at ALL levels. Here is how each state makes out"
Alabama: 4 FBS, 4 FCS, 5 D-II, 2 D-III.....15 total programs
Alaska: has no college football programs at any level.... -0- programs
ARizona: 2 FBS, 1 FCS, not a single D-II or D-II program...... 3 programs
Arkansas: 2 FBS, 2 FCS, 6 D-II, one D-II....11 programs
California: 7 FBS, 4 FCS, 2 D-II, 8 D-III.... 21 total programs
Colorado: 3 FBS, 1 FCS, 6 D-II, -0- DIII....10 total programs
Connecticut: 1 FBS, 3 FCS, 2 D-II, 4 D-III...10 total programs
Delaware: -0- FBS, 2 FCS, -0- D-II, 1 D-III...3 total programs
Dist. of Columbia: -0- FBS, 2 FCS, -0- D-II, 2 D-III...4 total programs
Florida: 7 FBS, 4 FCS, 1 D-II, not a single D-III....12 total programs
Georgia: 4 FBS, 3 FCS, 7 D-II, 2 D-III....16 total programs
Hawaii: 1 FBS, none in any other division.....1 total program
Idaho: 2 FBS, 1-DII, none on D-II or III......3 total programs
Illinois: 3 FBS, 1 FCS, 2 D-II, 19 D-III......25 total programs
Indiana: 4 FBS, 3 FCS, 2 D-II, 9 D-III......18 total programs
Iowa: 2 FBS, 2 FCS, 1 D-II, 11 D-III.......16 total programs
Kansas: 2 FBS
Well....enough typing. Bottom line the states that play and support college football the most are:
Ohio has 41 college programs.
Penn. has 53 college programs
Texas has 36
New York has 31
Mass. has 29. Good for a small state.
Florida's 12 programs....none in D-III tells me that they are not as big a football state as it may first seem.
California's 21 seems meager give that state's size. Ohio has almost twice as many.
And while TX is high on the list....they are not such the vaunted football state as it may seem.
So I give the prize on this to border states of PA and OH.

No one cares about non-FBS teams.

Nobody cares if you live or die. So what's the difference?
