    That was more of a slam against Wisconsin than it was Minnesota.

      LSU takes over the #1 spot in the AP Poll. Clemson, which blew out an average BC squad, dropped another two points. Since the beginning of the season, Clemson has dropped 134 points and 3 spots in the AP Poll despite going 8-0 and averaging a 31 point victory. Meanwhile, Auburn has gained 332 points and 5 spots in the AP Poll despite losing twice.

        Sounds like Auburn is underrated. They play in the SEC, you know!

          Semi-interesting map of ticket buyers.

          It shows two things:

          1. Within big intra-state flyover rivalries, which part of which godforsaken state follows which team, and
          2. Nobody gives a rat's as-s about a given college football team outside a 50-mile radius of its stadium except Notre Dame. Not even the service academies.

          Measuring who watches rather than attends games would obviously be much better, but college football is still the local state fair on amphetamines. It's nothing like pro sports (I mean outside of the athlete compensation). It's demographically far more like high school sports.

              Michigan is present in Lander County, NV

              Michigan State isn't a big presence outside the state.

                Im not sure how accurate that map is. My neighbor is an LSU season ticket holder (I got tix from him this year for our annual man trip), yet it says no LSU tickets for my county.

                  Sure. A third of tickets sold in Franklin County, Maine are Vanderbilt and one-fifth are for UCLA. Seems legit.

                        It's based on tickets sold through Vivid Seat's 3rd party platform, not from the school directly. In some of the random ones you see, it's probably a single, off the wall purchase that skewed the numbers. USCHO's DavyD is probably the reason Marquette Co. MI boasts a 7.9% tally for Alabama
                        It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

                          That makes more sense then. Ive never used Vivid Seat. How do people like it compared with Stub Hub or Seat Geek?

                              I had a 10% off coupon for Vivid Seats but never used it. I wanted to buy Bruins tickets but even with 10% off it was way more expensive than Stub Hub.

                                They lack the volume/popularity of Stub Hub for events in Chicago, but are a legit, albeit 2nd tier outlet. I put them on par with Seat Geek.
