14. Tennessee

If this were a ranking of college basketball fanbases, I’d probably have Tennessee a little lower based on my interactions with them until they’re bounced in the second weekend every March.

All trolling aside, I think Tennessee fans are a lot like Arkansas fans in the way that they were deprived of good coaching and solid results for years but they’re finally getting what they deserve. Josh Heupel seems to be the answer for the program and the fan support is at an all-time high.

Tennessee had a special season in 2022 where it went 11-2 overall and went to the Orange Bowl where it beat Clemson. The Volunteers also finished 22nd in average capacity and helped lead the charge for a home win over Alabama.

Tennessee fans are also spread far and wide as the Tennessee football Facebook page is home to 680,000 fans and the Twitter has 780,200 followers. It’s incredible the type of presence this fanbase has.

These fans are everywhere, man.
