22. Ole Miss

Ole Miss fans have been spoiled over the past couple of seasons thanks to Lane Kiffin. He’s been putting a really good product on the field each year which has made up for the lost years under Matt Luke.

Spoilage breeds passionate fans and that’s exactly how I’d describe the Rebels. Forget the fact that it’s on my college football fan bucket list to visit Oxford for an SEC game, but I just know that Vaught-Hemingway is electric in the fall.

With a modest capacity under 65,000, it’s not crazy to expect a 100 percent fill rate every Saturday. But that wasn’t quite the case last season as Jaxson Dart and the Rebels went 8-5 and drew a 97.7% average capacity fill rate. That was good enough for 23rd in the country which isn’t too bad considering the team was just above average.

Ole Miss fans are very present on social media with over 500,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter and they make their presence felt.
