A few weeks ago, USA Today - in a subjective list, it admits - ranked the most beloved fan bases in college football.
It didn't give criteria for the selections, but the SEC dominated this list, too.
USA Today names Alabama's fan base the most beloved.
"Yes, Crimson Tide fans walk a thin line between "great" and "wow, these guys are terrible." (It's a pretty thin line.) But there's something to be said for the tried-and-true, dyed-in-the-wool nature of the fan base: Alabama loyalty is passed down from generation to generation, hidden somewhere in the genetic code, and it seems as if each generation gets a little more loyal than the last. If that's possible. Every SEC fan base is terrific, true. Alabama's just seems a little better than the rest - if only by a nose. Negative points for poisoning the trees at Auburn's Toomer's Corner."
The rest of the list is:
No. 2 Oklahoma
No. 3 LSU
No. 4 Nebraska
No. 5 Texas A&M
Another 10 fan bases made the honorable mention list, which includes SEC schools Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
Check out the entire list here and the analysis on each fanbase.
