[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1419831, member: 590800"] Interesting map, and glad to hear about Arizona! I would have to think Illinois' would actually be Notre Dame, with Iowa or Missouri in second? I actually did a very involved Excel spreadsheet (using estimated data, of course, based on several polls I could find) where I broke down Illinois into population segments and estimated what percent of each region (Chicagoland, Northern IL, Central IL, etc.) even had a favorite team for NCAAF and then the estimated fan breakdown ... here's what I came up with statewide: 42.29% Illinois 16.07% Notre Dame 3.94% Iowa 3.75% Missouri 3.69% Northern Illinois 3.44% Wisconsin 2.96% Michigan 2.81% Northwestern 2.72% Indiana 2.04% Michigan State .94% Kentucky 15.36% Other Chicagoland was: 28.38% Illinois 22.08% Notre Dame 4.90% Northwestern 4.14% Northern Illinois 3.83% Wisconsin 3.69% Michigan 3.69% Indiana 3.56% Michigan State 3.50% Iowa 22.24% Other I tried to include factors such as living alumni in the area/state, fan polls I could find and then combining Common Census and NYT Zip Code Map data. :P [/QUOTE]
