(spoilered for size) Oregon? Not anyone I know in Washington State roots for Oregon.Texans love Texas football, according to data released by Facebook on Friday—and so do New Mexicans, Coloradans, Missourians, and North Dakotans. The Longhorns, in fact, have the most Facebook fans of any current top-25 college football team in 543 different counties around the country. That gives them, by at least one imperfect metric, the nation’s widest fan base.

Re: College Football Teams' Fan Bases on Facebook
It doesn't matter how many people you know. That map is mostly pointless because it only looks at teams currently in the top 25. Washington and Washington State (and every other team not ranked) don't get considered. A county is going to show as Oregon even if the true count of fans there is Wash 2000 Wash St 1000 Oregon 10 USC 5 ND 5 or whatever.Mary1966 wrote: Oregon?
