Reddit poll finds most states hate their own state's college football teams

Kind of funny. Especially in Texas, where Texas and Texas A&M are hated more than University of Oklahoma... I'll admit to being a Californian and hating USC, though I don't know why so many hate Stanford and UCLA

The Beavers are simply inconsequential. Although I know Beavers fans who HATE the Ducks.

they hate the 'other' team in their state. Am I surprised to see the Seminoles representing Florida? No, I am sure there are a lot of Gator and Hurricane fans that don't like their betters.

Just as I am sure some Yellow Jacket fans swayed the polling in their state.

Personally, my two favorite teams are FSU, and whoever is playing UF.
