   Largest fanbase from all over the world. New York Yankees of college football.

   They pull fans from all across the country, with reason. It's a bloody shame.

2. Florida Gators

   

   The Florida Gators are the intercollegiate sports teams that represent the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. They compete in the Southeastern Conference and are known for their success in a variety of sports, including football, basketball, and track and field. The Gators have won numerous... read more

   Amazing how far this program has come since they hired Spurrier. Before that, they rarely challenged for the SEC championship and I can't recall them ever being in the hunt for the National Championship.

   Top 10 ranked public university and football program. No other universities in the country can match them. Fact!

   My distant cousin used to own some of the land of UF. Both his parents, his two brothers, and he himself were all involved, so naturally, I'm a Gator. And I say, the more Gator, the greater.

3. LSU Tigers

   

   The Louisiana State University Tigers are based in Baton Rouge and compete in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They are especially recognized for their achievements in football and baseball, with multiple national championships in both sports.

   The best football atmosphere in the country. No contest.

   The Michigan Wolverines represent 27 varsity sports teams at the University of Michigan. These teams compete in NCAA Division I and are members of the Big Ten Conference.

   All Wolverine teams participate in the Big Ten except for women's water polo, which competes in the NCAA interdivisional Collegiate... read more

   Glory days are once again just around the corner. If the community and fan base will just let the coach do his thing, it doesn't appear to be an issue this time around.

   They are an up-and-coming team and will have a presence in the top ten rankings. Go Wolverines!

5. Ohio State Buckeyes

   

   The Ohio State Buckeyes are the athletic teams that represent The Ohio State University, named after the colloquial term for people from the state of Ohio and the state tree, the Ohio Buckeye. The university's teams compete in the NCAA Division I as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The football team... read more

   I live in Michigan, born and raised. My brother's a Michigan fan, and I'm an Ohio State fan. Ohio State will always be better!

   Okay, I know we are your rivals, but we never say anything bad about Ohio State. I mean, come on.

   I believe Ohio State is the number one team of all time.

6. Alabama Crimson Tide

   

   The Alabama Crimson Tide refers to the 21 men's and women's varsity teams that represent the University of Alabama. These teams compete in the NCAA Division I as part of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The football team is particularly well known, with numerous national championships.

   Florida? LSU? Oregon? Notre Dame? Washington State? Seriously? Why are all these teams higher than the national champion? All these teams suck. The only quality team higher is Ohio State. Alabama needs to be higher.

   Get these crappy teams that we crushed out of this list. Alabama should be number one, followed by Ohio State and Clemson.

   Has to be Alabama. The East may have invented football, but Alabama perfected it, like Brazil perfected British soccer.

   Three BCS national championships in four years! And a lot more championships prior to Saban's tenure. All the talent that team has produced over the years is ridiculous. Julio Jones, Joe Namath, Bart Starr, Derrick Johnson, and a whole lot more.

   ROLL TIDE ROLL. And I forgot to mention the late great Bear Bryant. R.I.P.

7. Oregon Ducks

   

   The Oregon Ducks are the athletic teams that represent the University of Oregon, a public flagship research university located in Eugene, Oregon.

   These guys are good, but I still like the Beavers better than them.

8. Washington State Cougars

   

   Go Cougs! These guys should be at the top. They deserve it, even though the Gators are good. They are awesome!

   Cougars at number 3? Are you kidding me? They have all of five alumni.

   The most fun team to watch in college football right now.

9. Penn State Nittany Lions

   

   The Penn State Nittany Lions are the athletic teams representing Pennsylvania State University. They compete in NCAA Division I as members of the Big Ten Conference.

    Just another reason to visit more often. GO EERS!

    State, LSU, Ole Miss, and Gators are my top 4 in that order! Maybe going to an MS game tonight! Still have to get tickets though!

    I live in Mississippi and Ole Miss cheated, so I like Mississippi State now.

16. Clemson Tigers

    

    The Clemson Tigers are the athletic teams representing Clemson University. They compete at the NCAA Division I level, with their football team playing in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Clemson has been a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) since the 1953-54 academic year.

    Hats off to the entire Clemson football family on your thrashing of Alabama in last night's National Championship Game. GO TIGERS!

    I love the Clemson Tigers, and so does my family! I just went to their spring game! GO TIGERS!

    As an outsider, what a great program and storied history.

    I think I like these guys because one of their main colors, orange, is my favorite color.

The university is known for its strong football and baseball programs, both of which have earned multiple conference championships over the years. The official team colors... read more

    Ohio State wouldn't be No. 2 if the CFP committee had selected correctly. They would have had TCU, who should have gone unbeaten if it weren't for a late three-score rally in the fourth quarter by Baylor.

    Baylor won by 3 in a 109-point contest, similar to the 2011 game between these two teams. They beat Ole Miss 42-3 and ISU 55-3 in their last two games. A 97-6 record is amazing. Trevone Boykin and BJ Catalon will be back in 2015.

23. Florida State Seminoles

    

    What are the Seminoles doing down here?! They are the best! Florida State, the Wisconsin Badgers, and Minnesota are the best.

    2013 champs. 29-game win streak. Epic QB in Jameis Winston. P.J. Williams, Eddie Goldman, Ronald Darby, Cameron Erving, Mario Edwards, and Tre Jackson are all 1st-round talent. Also, Nick O'Leary, Rashad Greene, Josue Matias, and Karlos Williams in the mid-rounds too. Skilled players in the NFL like Kelvin Benjamin, Anquan Boldin, Nigel Bradham, and EJ Manuel. Oh, and Deion Sanders. Oregon sucks.

24. Wisconsin Badgers

    

    The Wisconsin Badgers are the athletic teams representing the University of Wisconsin - Madison. They compete in NCAA Division I and are members of the Big Ten Conference. The program is recognized for its achievements in multiple sports, including football, basketball, and hockey.
