Looks like Michigan is the most hated

New Mexico- Ole Miss ? don't get that.

Georgia- Ohio St. ? figured UF or USC jr.

Alabama- Ole Miss ? figured AU or Bama

I don't get Ohio St being the most hated in Ohio. They have no in-state rivals to weight the votes against them.

That map doesn't make a whole lot of sense in some areas. New Mexico hating Ole Miss? I find it hard to believe Notre Dame isn't on there at all.

No fighting leprechaun’s profile visible. Not what they used to be in South Bend Over although still plenty of hate to go around I'd bet.

And what is Vermont's beef with Maryland?

I'm thinking a survey based from Reddit isn't exactly going to be what we would call "accurate."

Reddit Survey Shows Which College Football Programs Are Most Hated in Each State | Bleacher Report

It seems unlikely that the University of Michigan is the most hated team in Michigan and that Texas is the least popular in Texas (way to stuff the ballot, Spartan and Aggies faithful), but these results still give an overall snapshot of where animosity lies.

I'd give a tossup for Bama or Florida here though.

Reddit did an update and still no Notre Dame? This deal is mega-rigged. I knew BYU was hated all over the West.

I dunno. While Notre Dame is universally disliked, the only school that might consider the Irish to be its biggest rival is USC. And I imagine many Trojan fans hate UCLA more than ND.

It really doesn't surprise me that Notre Dame isn't #1 in any particular state. Maybe MA, since BC doesn't have any other big rivals. But most Boston residents are probably Notre Dame fans anyway.

Was being a little facetious there. I’m Irish Catholic and have always liked Notre Dame. The anti-ND sentiment is probably more diluted across the country instead of confined to one state.

The Irish brand isn't what it was. Better teams, intense regional rivalries, and a generation that wouldn’t know George Gipp from George Jetson.

Going back to the first chart, where would he come to the conclusion that Ohio State is the most hated team in Kansas?

That's very believable because all the other TX school fanbases can't stand them. They're likely the most popular as well, being the state university, but that doesn't mean they can't be the most hated in addition to that. TTU, aTm, Baylor would all agree that TX is who they hate most.

The second map is accurate - well, at least for the reddit demographic. It removed the vote-spam trolls.

This concept is not very difficult, just because you're the most popular team in your state doesn't mean you can't be the most hated as well. If all the opposing fanbases combined, hate one common university but the hate stemming from that other university is spread out over multiple institutions then one of those other institutions can't be the most hated.

In TX, all fanbases not named TX, hate TX. Whereas if you pull TX fans some may say TTU is most hated, some may say OU is most hated or aTm etc. But if you poll aTm, Baylor, TTU, OU fans in TX etc they'll all very likely say TX is most hated. Yes they have the largest fanbase in the state but they also have the most haters against them too.

I understand the concept fine, but Texas and Kentucky are quite different. Texas has far more programs and several major conference ones.

Kentucky has UK and Louisville, and the next biggest program is WKU. Other than that, some OVC level schools sprinkled in. UK is by far the biggest program in the state, so I don't buy that the combined of the other programs saying they hate UK would outnumber the combined hated team of all the UK fans; unless UK fans are extremely split on who they hate the most.

Texas makes sense, because you combine A&M, TTU, Baylor, and TCU, along with SMU, Rice, Houston, UTEP, North Texas, UTSA, and Texas St., I can totally buy all of those teams would say they hate Texas the most.
