SI.com asked college football fans across the nation to weigh in on a number of topics in a recent survey. The fans responded.
Not surprisingly, the SEC ranked #1 in terms of the best conference in the land. The rest of the overall results are interesting — for example, most fans say they follow recruiting either “casually” or “not at all.”
The answers of SEC fans have also been broken down. Some of those results are as follows:
1. What is your biggest conference rival?
23.5% said Alabama, 17.5% said Georgia, and 17.4% said Florida. On the other end of the spectrum, more fans consider Vanderbilt to be a rival of their team than either Kentucky or South Carolina.
2. What is your favorite stadium to visit in your team’s conference?
24.8% said Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, followed by Sanford Stadium in Athens, Neyland Stadium in Knoxville and The Swamp. (Sounds to me like a lot of fans voted for their own home stadium ’cause most folks do NOT want to go to Tiger Stadium or The Swamp.)
3. Which school has the rudest fans for visitors?
LSU fans got 32.2% of the vote. Florida was next at just 19.2% followed by Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
4. Which school has the most polite fans for visitors?
Vandy fans got the nod at 37.4% followed by Ole Miss, Kentucky and Georgia fans. (So Dawg fans are both rude AND polite?)
