How fanbases feel

Anger, doom, sarcasm, and optimism — ranked within the 94 highest-volume programs.

How this works: Percentile scores are within this 94-program cohort, not all of FBS. A score of "100th" means most extreme among these 94 teams. Based on public Reddit posts, 2026 season. Programs without enough Reddit volume are not included.
