Most popular Top-25 CFB team by state in eBay sales
Maine and Wyoming.......
Minnesota is apparently overrun by Iowa fans.
Collectible coolers/teeth I'm guessing.
eBay says a Bama or Ohio State fan buys something on its site every 6 minutes

Darren Rovell has too much time on his hands. Now I shall go back to refreshing MDen 70 times.....

Michigan fans shouldn't buy anything on E-Bay until we beat MSU/OSU.

I wish I was that cool. I would die if I did as much blow and hookers as that guy.

This is the greatest chart ever presented! Or at least the greatest ever presented on a Thursday in mid September in an even-numbered year that's not a leap year!!!
September 15th, 2016 at 5:41 PM ^
It is a leap year.

Check out the note at the bottom of the graphic. Says that the data was only based on the Top 25 ranked teams as of week 2. Might explain why Minnesota and Nebraska are overrun by Iowa fans. Ditto for Arkansas with LSU fans.

FWIW --- there were 7 teams in the Week 2 AP Top 25 that aren't represented on this list:
Houston, Michigan State, TCU, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Baylor, and Miami FLA.
All schools that had some other school from their state within the Top 25.
So I draw the very non-intuitive (sarcasm) conclusion that "if you are in the Top 25 and nobody else from your state is ranked, you will definitely be #1 in your state in terms of sales of your gear."

Is it true that Michigan is the leader in Alaska and Hawaii?

Goes right on the shelf next to September Heismans and Spring Game attendance records!

Michigan has lots of ties to NYC and the state of New York

I'm more surprised we don't own New Jersey, considering how many recruits we got from there the past couple of years.

Nebraska wasn't ranked in the Top 25 in week 2 so they weren't even included as a data point. Iowa was/is ranked.
September 15th, 2016 at 5:26 PM ^
September 15th, 2016 at 4:39 PM ^
and I hear a lot of odd stuff happens through E-bay, is it cool or not so much?

Also, I'm like 95% sure it was shipped from NJ. So probably some Rutgers fan trying to use his dirtiness as a biological weapon in the imaginative war they've declared against Michigan.
September 15th, 2016 at 9:13 PM ^
I think I'll stick with Amazon. Or hopping in the car to the store.
As for the Rutgers student perhaps he learned about American Indians contracting Small Pox from blankets; that was what he came up with.

Surprised the most about Stanford. Isn't UCLA usually one of the best selling merch schools? Stanford has a tiny fan base..have you seen their bowl games?
2nd mout surprising.. Notre Dame in PA.
All of the little states are always pretty random in these things.

Standord was the only ranked team in California in Week 2. They almost win my default. Also, Pitt and Penn St. weren't ranked either leaving that state open for an outsider to be represented due to the dataset that was used.

It's not a ranking of the most popular team (based on eBay sales) in a state, but a ranking of the most popular of the teams currently in the top 25.

Ahh now it makes sense

Nanook Football

The Barrow High School mascot is the Whaler. University of Alaska Fairbainks are the Nanooks. There aren't any Polar bears in Fairbanks since it's centrally located in the interior of the State and Polar bears are marine mammals. UAF mascot is a farce! That hype video tho!
