what college football teams does everyone root for?

[jkeerie]

I'm an alum of UB, Penn State, and Central Michigan.  Also served in the Air Force.  So those are my teams.

I cheer for the schools who I have written tuition checks over the years.

 

Marietta College (Div 3)  had a great season this year.

Kent State .  The Golden Flashes have not been Golden lately

WVU.  (Younger daughter)  Neal Brown will be looking for a job real soon.

Marshall (Elder daughter)  playing in the Sun Belt Championship game this weekend.

 

others

Purdue who was Purdon't this season. Ugh

Moved to the Columbia, South Carolina area in May - Gamecocks country. We actually went to the final home game last Saturday. WOW!  What a great experience. Love garnet red. Go *****!

I’ve always been a Syracuse fan having grown up attending games. Also had PA family who were big Penn State fans. I was a fan throughout the 90’s. Now they rank among my most disliked sports teams.

1. Oklahoma State

 

My grandfather graduated from OSU back when it was still Oklahoma A&M, in 1944. My dad graduated from OSU in 1974 and I graduated from OSU in 1998 (took my 5 years... I partied too much). I'm an alumni, season ticket holder to football games (used to have basketball tickets when I lived in the Tulsa area). Thurman Thomas was the reason I became a Bills fan. Followed him out of college and fell in love with the Bills. I was 12 at the time. Should have won a National Championship in football in 2011 (best team that year). OSU has the 4th most NCAA titles in the country and the most outside the state of California. Won championships in football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, golf, tennis and cross country. One of the top 2-3 softball programs in the country as well. Just an AWESOME athletic university that people don't realize how dominate they actually are. 

 

2. Ole Miss

 

It's funny because I love Miss State fans. They are a lot like Oklahoma State fans... ag school and most of the students are small-town kids. My youngest daughter wanted to get out of Oklahoma to go to college and she fell in love with Mississippi and Oxford. I, by default, root for the Rebels. I've been to half-a-dozen games over the years and absolutely love the tailgating at The Grove and the atmosphere of that little town. Stillwater has a population of 50,000 (75,000 when school is in session)... and Oxford feels like it's twice the size. But, Oxford's population is more than half of OSU's (27,000). Night games at the Vaught is cool AF. 

 

3. Army

 

The Army/Navy game IS THE BEST RIVARLY in college football. I love that game and love following the little team. I'm former Army so of course, I have to root for them. Jeff Monken is their head coach and his brother, Todd, was a big part of Oklahoma State's rise to football glory in the early 2000's then again when OSU was fighting to play for the BCS Championship in 2011. That said, I also pull for Navy when they aren't playing Army. Charlie Weatherbie coached Navy for 7 years. He's a former Oklahoma State QB.

The great University of Alabama Crimson Tide. I have been a Tide Fan my entire life. It provided a nice contrast to being perennially disappointed and heart broken by the Bills. That said, the times they might be a changing! 👍🏈👍

[teef]

boston college...because i went there.  sigh.

[frostbitmic]

The State of Oregon ... How can you root against Ducks or Beavers ?

 

[Mat68]

Die hard Penn st.  This year in forever have Saturday off.  More locked in to the overall sport of college football in decades.  The variance of outcomes when 18-20 year olds decision determine the outcome is what makes it great. 

[PastaJoe]

My school (Marquette University) didn’t have football, nor did my son’s school (RIT), so I don’t really have a team I root for.  It usually depends on the matchups.   I always root against Notre Dame, big schools that have often won, and usually southern schools. So my preferences are teams like Oregon, Navy, Boston College, and Rutgers.

[Harold Jackson]

Penn State.

Don't expect them to win this one
