Most likeable college football team?

Certainly there is some dude out there somewhere that hates K State.

Nope, not a one, I've looked and looked and looked.  Even Kansas fans take pity on them.  It's sad to be so undisliked.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?  Well, at least regarding the last 20 years.  KU sucks.

Obviously, whenever someone is "hatin'" on your team, it means they made the cut.

So, if Finebaum et al. criticize THE Ohio State football program, it's a compliment.

I find life is better to ignore for the most part whatever "experts" have to say about whatever.  Imagine Steele picks your team to win the NC.  So what?  You already knew you had a good shot.

My naivete on preseason picks vaporized ages ago.  It's all about hype and click$.  Of course it's always been that way, I just didn't realize it when I was younger.

Same here.  It really does not matter now, I think, at all.  You win on the field.  Maybe a team ends up 5th on occasion instead of 4th, and it usually will be a tough call.  They still lost somewhere along the way.

Every expert might pick your team to be 15-0 and it simply does not matter beyond the obvious fact you have a good team.

USC has always been hateable. Texas is beyond scornful. I live in Az., but dislike the Scum Devils immensely...It all started way back in their Western Conference days. They played absolutely no one, yet were always hyped and rated high in the polls. Made me want to puke.

Army, AF, Navy, App State, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Duke, Virginia and #1, The Ohio State.

Do OSU fans generally "hate" any team other than the obvious?  Maybe Penn State a bit?

You might view Wisconsin as a tough out on occasion, but is there reason to hate them?  Or Nebraska?  Or Iowa?  Or conversely to "like them" other than perhaps you had a parent who went there, or close bud, or kids?  I "like" Ohio State because my kids went there.  I "admire" their program for its consistency and achievements as a CFB fan.

The only teams I "like" are places like K-State because I liked their coach, and the Academies, and Appalachian State.  I like the USC song gals or whatever they are called.   I have some admiration for programs like Wisconsin and VaTech because they do a lot with a little comparatively.

Do I like or hate Oklahoma?  Nope.

I hate Georgia.  You got a problem with that?

Boston College. Smart, play Clemson tough, lots of tough NFL alums.

If I'm watching a random game, I'll "pull for the underdog", usually, which I think is pretty common.  I also like teams with apparently sound academics and who don't cheat (which of course includes all SEC teams and few others).

Ohio University is my alma mater so I'm hoping they have a really good season.  I understand they have a top QB and good team this season.  Stolich is a solid coach.

"The" Ohio University?
