Less than three weeks to go until the 2010-2011 college football season. Tailgaters are ready. Players are ready. Coaches are ready. Not to mention fans who are eagerly scooping up their college football tickets. While we can’t tell you who will win the BCS Championship, we’ve got something almost as good. Ah yes, we’re bringing back the Top 25 College FanDemand Rankings!
Like most of last year, Ohio State Buckeye tickets are once again at the top of the list, with the reigning BCS Champions, Alabama not far behind. Notre Dame tickets and USC Trojans tickets rank 3rd and 4th. Both teams had big coaching changes and should be fun to watch. The biggest surprise – Texas Longhorn tickets - despite coming off a BCS appearance and being ranked in the top 5 in many polls, the Longhorns sit at the bottom of our list.
Slicing and dicing the data in other ways, we get an interesting glimpse into conference demand. With 3 of the top 6, and 7 teams total, its clear SEC games are the most sought after. Other conferences with multiple teams on our list include the Big 12 (5 teams), Big 10 (4 teams), ACC (3 teams) and Sun Belt (2 teams). The Big East, Conference-USA, and Pac-10 all have one team. Notre Dame is the only independent.
Oh and in the battle of the Tigers – Auburn Tigers tickets, rank slightly ahead of LSU Tigers tickets with Clemson Tigers tickets much further down the list. So without further ado, here it is!
