Engaging in some spirited banter and trash talk during NCAA football games is perfectly acceptable, but certain college football fans tend to overstep their boundaries.

These football fans have earned the top spot on our list for their abhorrent behavior in the NCAA, ranging from excessive profanity in the stands to hurling trash onto the field.

Furthermore, there are fans, specifically those who are of legal age, who have yet to experience legal sports betting.

We conducted a survey involving over 2,000 NCAA football fans nationwide to identify the most spirited fanbase. Participants were asked to evaluate the conduct of each fan base within the Power Five conferences (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and ACC), as well as independent teams.

In what manner do these fans exhibit unsportsmanlike conduct? Many fans tend to display a sense of superiority, while some indulge in excessive drinking, employ offensive language, or vandalize their own stadium.

Instead of “Roll Tide? More like roll it back,” it seems like Alabama fans might benefit from toning down their enthusiasm. Our survey reveals that they are considered the most ill-behaved football fans in the NCAA, as well as the most arrogant, according to respondents.

In the second position, we have THE Ohio State University. Buckeyes are known to passionately engage with other fans (and occasionally indulge in some car-flipping), which likely contributed to their high ranking on our list. (And it’s safe to say that there won’t be any sympathy for this ranking from anyone in the state of Michigan.)

LSU Tigers fans are known for their loud and rowdy nature, securing the third spot in the rankings for their heckling abilities. This comes as no surprise, considering their well-earned reputation for intense tailgating and throwing Mardi Gras beads at their rivals.

Tennessee fans have a knack for elevating trash talk to new heights. The Volunteers, ranking fourth, have gained notoriety for their tendency to litter the field with debris whenever things don’t go according to plan.

However, when it comes to indulging in excessive drinking, the University of Florida takes the lead. Gators fans have earned the No. 5 spot on the list of worst-behaved individuals due to their alcohol-fueled antics. It’s quite a reputation, Florida.

We’re not singling out fan bases from other states alone. Both of Michigan’s Power Five schools, as you can see, confidently secure spots in the top 20 rankings. The Wolverines, who are the reigning Big Ten Conference champions, claim the seventh position, while Michigan State sits at No. 18.

Most Arrogant NCAA Football Fans

In addition, we have also evaluated and listed the NCAA’s top five fan bases with the most arrogance. Notre Dame supporters hold the second position in this ranking, trailing behind the Crimson Tide. This might not be surprising to many, as the Fighting Irish fans often exhibit an unwavering belief that their team reigns supreme in the realm of college football.

It seems that the disdain for anything related to Duke extends beyond the realm of basketball, as fans of the Blue Devils football team earned a noteworthy third spot on the list of most arrogant fans. The Auburn Tigers came in a close fourth. Let’s maintain a touch of southern politeness and simply acknowledge that they are, at least, not fans of Alabama.

Michigan State completes the top five rankings. It’s quite amusing when Spartans fans refer to their rivals as the “Walmart Wolverines.” Additionally, they have gained a reputation for their recent tendency to engage in rowdy behavior.

Top 5 Most Arrogant Fan Bases

The SEC has secured the top spot on our conference list for being the most arrogant in the NCAA, closely followed by the Big Ten.

Worst Behaved NCAA Football Conferences

According to respondents, fans in the Big 12 Conference have been reported to use offensive language, potentially requiring a bar of soap for their mouths. Additionally, they also express frustration towards the much-criticized group of officials in the conference.

According to this survey, Pac-12 fans in the western region are notorious for their love of partying and getting excessively intoxicated during games.

Methodology for these rankings

In order to establish our rankings, we conducted a survey of over 2,000 NCAA football enthusiasts nationwide. Participants were asked to assess the conduct of fan bases in the Power Five conferences (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and ACC), as well as independent teams. The survey consisted of an equal number of male and female respondents, with an average age of 30.
