RE: Rank Division I programs in your state in terms of resources
I'll do the states of Alabama & Oregon:


State of Alabama:

10: 'Bama- easily has the most resources in the state by far and very widespread support.

8/9: Auburn- The loveliest village on the Plains is a big boy (P5), but to say they are equal with 'Bama is a bit of a stretch. Auburn seems to lack the statewide support that 'Bama has (it seems limited to southeast Alabama & Birmingham) & their stadium is somewhat smaller too. (87,000 approx vs 104,000 approx). Surprisingly, Auburn has a substantial fanbase in western Georgia. Basically, Auburn is a poor man's UGa, IMO.




4/5: Troy- very solid support in southeastern Alabama. Troy has a fanbase stretching from parts of Montgomery all the way south to Dothan. still, doesn't have statewide support though, and is vastly outnumbered by 'Bama & Auburn fans.
4/5 : South Alabama- see Troy, but the fanbase is located more in the Mobile area.
4/5: UAB- although fanbase is limited to B'ham for the most part, still UAB does make its presence known.
4: JSU-decent resources for an FCS program, but small fanbase in a small town.
4: Alabama A&M- decent resources and has the Magic City Classic with Alabama State in B'ham.
4: Alabama State- see Alabama A&M but add the Turkey Day Classic with Tuskegee too.
4: UNA- see JSU, but they are moving up from Div 2
3: Samford: private Southern Baptist school in the B'ham area, but chooses to be frugal with their money, ala' UPenn.


State of Oregon:

10: U of Oregon- Phil Knight and Nike already added to a solid Ducks legacy. Plus, U of O has very little competition from the NFL. It's kinda surprising Oregon hasn't expanded Autzen yet, IMO. Huge statewide fanbase.

8: Oregon State- the Beavers have been the underdog to the Ducks for a long time, but they are in the P5, and they have the Reser family helping them out some. Still, the Beavers support is kinda limited to swath of Oregon stretching from Corvallis to Portland.


4: U of Portland: does surprisingly well for themselves being in the WCC.
3/4: Portland State: probably has a bigger fanbase in the Rose City (Portland), but lacks the resources that U of Portland has, IMO.
