who actually thought no one gave a damn about aTm.

They only have the 6th largest fan base in America, according to this poll.

I really do believe aTm has a top 10 fan following but I really wonder if they're truly as high as 6... Hell, they have Florida State ranked at 38. That... I just can't believe. Regardless... that was a pretty interesting write up. I really want to know how these polls are ran though, because I never hear about them until their data is published.

i have ever seen. Those "numbers" are beyond ridiculous.

The lower end of the SEC, looked like average game attendance, times 10.
Toward the upper end, looking like sidewalk hero worship included.

The whole thing seemed skewed.
