Summary of an On3 article (Buffs made the list):
Numerous spring games have been added over the past two weekends, which is great news for college football.
The journey for players, coaches, and fans across the sport has officially begun, even though there is still plenty of time before the games start to count. Through the looking glass, we can see some of the most prestigious sporting events and how they're preparing for a run in 2023.
People are clamoring for football to return, as evidenced by the large crowds that have gathered around the country. Here are the teams whose fans showed up in the greatest numbers for their spring game, according to information given on Twitter by On3's Hayes Fawcett.
The largest spring game attendance record for college football is:
75,122 Ohio State Buckeyes
68,000 Penn State Nittany Lions
66,045 Nebraska Cornhuskers
58,710 Alabama Crimson Tide
58,473 Tennessee Volunteers
54,409 Oklahoma Sooners
54,000 Georgia Bulldogs
51,000 South Carolina Gamecocks
50,000 Clemson Tigers
47,277 Colorado Buffaloes
33,427 USC Trojans
33,107 Florida State Seminoles
As you can see, the attendance rankings are cluttered with many of the typical suspects. The top three slots belonged to the Big Ten, with Nebraska, Ohio State, and Penn State currently experiencing football mania.
Although the Buckeyes missed out on a trip to the championship game, they intend to return next year. According to Spencer Holbrook of Letterman Row, the overwhelming response from their supporters demonstrates the fervor of their fans.
It demonstrates the strength of Ohio State football, said Holbrook. "People will come to watch if the Buckeyes are playing on the field. Although the program is currently the subject of many questions, it has championship potential.
The Nittany Lions are anticipated to significantly improve their chances of winning the national championship in 2023, while Matt Rhule's hiring has given the Cornhuskers a boost. Moving ahead, the conference is in good hands.
"I believe it demonstrates the fervor of the Big Ten Conference. The Big Ten's turnout, according to On3's JD PicKell, "shows the buy-in these schools have been able to create around the direction of their team and it's a phenomenal recruiting tool to pitch to prospects an elite game day atmosphere." "Ohio State's ability to be at the top of this list really impresses me. It's a university that isn't a "up-and-comer" or a recent addition to the CFP discussion. That fan base could easily respond, "Thanks for the invite, but we'll be back when the games matter."
"Truly the essence of what makes CFB a unique creature. More than 70,000 people attend a practice. It's pretty electric.
Although the Big Ten won the top three spots, the SEC also claimed some of the top positions, with Alabama (No. 4), Tennessee (No. 5), Georgia (No. 7), and South Carolina (No. 8) all appearing in the Top 10.
Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks have a buzz around them, while the Crimson Tide and Volunteers are coming into 2023 with a lot of hype after missing the College Football Playoff last season. Still, the Bulldogs are still kings of college football, so it's not surprising that their supporters still support them.
The Colorado Buffaloes' inclusion on the list is arguably the most unexpected. The program is buzzing with Deion Sanders, and the support is solid. They might not compete next season, but they'll be aiming for a solid basis for success.
We are so close to college football that we can practically taste it. Fans thoroughly appreciated the spring games, which were more like an appetizer.
