The Gipper Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 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.

The Gipper Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 No one cares about non-FBS teams. (inb4 Gipper goes on about non-FBS teams) Nobody cares if you live or die. So what's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
