How is this even calculated? EMU is probably so high because they beat Michigan and everyone heard about it on social media.
Most of USA Today's lists come from reader votes but it's hard to imagine Eastern has more fan involvement than us Bobcats. Bobcat nation has always responded quite well to any on line reader vote. I don't recall ever seeing this poll on line. So who knows how they come up with this stuff.
awww, but wait, just saw this:
College Football Fan Index presented by Degree is the only digital index that combines social media activity and fan voting to determine the ultimate college football fanbase.
It’s an in-depth ranking of the top fanbases as determined through social aggregation and online polling across weekly editorial themes such as best tailgates and best traditions. The index is then measured based on social activity of each school’s fanbase, including sharing photos and videos, as well as the voting results of the weekly polls asking fans to determine which schools offer the best experience.
This further questions how EMU could have possibly finished in the top 100
