11. Utah

Have you ever met a rude Utah fan? Well, maybe they’re out there, but I’ve never encountered a bad fan of the Utes and it’s probably because they operate under the underdog mentality. They’re constantly overlooked in the Pac-12 and yet they continue to deliver.

If anything, Utah fans should be cocky.

But they’re great fans with a modest following on social media of 93,000 on Facebook and 205,000 on Twitter. That’s not one of the highest total numbers in this top 25 ranking, but it’s enough to have a presence and they make themselves known during football season — just ask BYU fans.

Much like their football program, the Utes’ fanbase is probably a tad underrated as well. Having them at No. 11 may shock some people, but they over-packed Rice-Eccles last season with 101.2% capacity each week. That was good for seventh in all of college football.

Try winning in that stadium. You can’t.
