Schools in the SEC and Big 10 have the most engaged fan bases in college football, according to a new formula by TicketCity.com.

The website released a list of the 25 most engaged fan bases in the sport this week. The criteria: attendance, home attendance, ticket prices, home ticket prices, attendance percentage, Facebook likes, and Twitter followers.

Based on that formula, the University of Michigan came out No. 1. Their chief rivals, Ohio State, came in at No. 4.

In all, seven Big Ten schools, ten SEC schools, three Big 12 schools, two Pac 12 schools, and three ACC schools made the list.

Here's the ranking:

1. Michigan

2. LSU

3. Alabama

4. Ohio State

5. Texas A&M

6. Nebraska

7. Oklahoma

8. Texas

9. Georgia

10. Florida

11. Penn State

12. South Carolina

13. Iowa

14. USC

15. Oregon

16. Michigan State

17. Tennessee

18. Wisconsin

19. Auburn

20. Clemson

21. West Virginia

22. Florida State

23. Missouri

24. Arkansas

25. Virginia Tech

It's a little skewed toward schools with large stadiums, but perhaps that makes sense.
