KingCougDon't know if others saw this article (link below) but it was an interesting analysis of the the comparative sizes of college football fanbases in the country. It went through all 120 DI schools at the time.
I listed the Top 10 below, as well as where BYU, Utah, and Utah State were. The article said that, while the BYU fanbase was smaller than 42 BCS schools, it was larger than 27 others.
#1 Ohio State - 3,167,263
#2 Michigan - 2,921,066
#3 Penn State - 2,642,275
#4 Notre Dame - 2,261,738
#5 Texas - 2,250,310
#6 Texas A&M - 2,030,188
#7 Auburn - 1,900,389
#8 Alabama - 1,879,881
#9 Florida - 1,811,922
#10 Clemson - 1,761,162
#43 BYU - 709,864
#67 Utah - 351,939
#119 Utah State - 65,129
