I'm a high school junior with a big love for college football (Go Tigers!) and wanted to know something. Can anyone tell me which states take college football as seriously as I do? I'd love to be part of a college community where the football culture is strong.
In terms of college football passion, here are some states that consistently demonstrate a love for the game:
1. Alabama: In Alabama, college football might as well be a religion. The state is home to the University of Alabama and Auburn University, both of which boast incredibly competitive Division I football teams and huge fan bases.
2. Ohio: Ohioans take their college football very seriously, with Ohio State University at the forefront. The Ohio State-Michigan game is a major event each year.
3. Texas: Everything is bigger in Texas, including the love for college football. Whether it's the University of Texas, Texas A&M, or Texas Christian University, you'll find packed stadiums and dedicated fans.
4. Louisiana: Louisiana, in particular, Baton Rouge, is a hotbed for college football fandom. Louisiana State University (LSU—the Tigers) has a long history of fantastic games and they’re known for their loud and proud fans.
5. Florida: With several competitive Division I programs, including the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of Miami, not to mention UCF, football fervor is always high in this state.
Remember, the passion for college football can differ greatly from school to school, even within a state, so it's wise to research individual colleges rather than simply choosing a state.
Good luck in your search! As a fellow college football fan, I can say that it's an incredible experience to be part of a college community where the football culture is strong.
