Here is the ranking of my favorite Division 1-A college football teams.  They are divided by conference/division ordered from my favorite to least favorite.

SEC (It’s home to some of my most hated teams but also 4 out of 5 of my favorites.)

SEC East

1.  South Carolina-My father’s alma mater and home to the most loyal fans in all of college football. 

2.  Kentucky- They were the team I grew up with.

3.  Vanderbilt- My parents actually met here during Grad School.

4.  Missouri

5.  Florida

6.  Georgia

7.  Tennessee

SEC West

1.  Ole Miss- Bad stadium.  Alright coach.  Great nickname.  Amazing tailgate.

2.  Alabama-My mother’s alma mater and home to some of the best fans in college football.

3.  Mississippi State

4.  Texas A & M

5.  LSU

6.  Arkansas

7.  Auburn

  —————————

 Pac-12 (Fun teams, fun football, fun nicknames.)

Pac-12 North

2.  Oregon State

3.  Stanford

5.  California

6.  Washington
