I've been watching college football extensively for the past two years now (before I watched the occasional game), and, like every sport, I want to have a favorite team. A team to follow and root for. Unfortunately, there aren't any big schools around me in upstate New York that have football teams that are any good.
How should I solve this little dilemma?
Edit: And my college is a D3 school with no football program..
Well my suggestion is to take 4 factors into account.
1. Pick a uniform and color scheme you like.
2. Pick an area where a college is that you like to either visit or want to live.
3. Pick a style of play that you like(it was more clear-cut 25 years ago when option and wishbone teams were plentiful).
4. Pick a school where you respect the educational reputatation.
Now under the 1st scenario when I was young UCLA, Tennessee, and Michigan were teams I liked due to the uniforms.
Under scenario 3, I liked the Spurrier run Gator teams, and the USC teams of John Robinson, the Howard Schellenberger Canes, and to some repect the BYU teams.
Under scenario 4 I have grown to like Virginia Tech a lot, since it is a similar university, as a polytechnic university, to my alma-mata, Cal Poly.
For Dolphins fans a team to like back in the late 80's and early 90's was Hawaii, since back then Hawaii wore similiar uniforms as the Dolphins did(nowdays they wear an ugly dark green and black uniform), and played in a nice tropical type town.
So use these factors to pick a team you will want to follow.
