As you can see from the data, a new team (last year it was Michigan) is on top apart from the perennial dislike of teams like Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan... and that team is the Colorado Buffaloes.
Colorado has become the most polarizing team in college football, with some fans loving them, and many disliking them. The likely reason for this? Coach Prime...Deion Sanders. It goes without saying that while Colorado and Coach Prime have a lot of fans, there are also a ton of people rooting for them to fail.
Speaking of Sanders and the Buffs, they struggled to defeat a powerhouse FCS school (North Dakota State) last night in their home opener.
But the silver lining was the play of, who some are calling a "generational player," Travis Hunter. The two-way stud caught three touchdowns, the third of which was ridiculous, and the Heisman oddsmakers took notice.
BetOnline dropped Hunter's Heisman odds from 33/1 to 14/1, which is the lowest anywhere on the planet. It's probably a bit of an overreaction, but if Hunter finishes the season with 30 TDs and 10 INTs, it will be difficult not to hand the trophy to him...even if Colorado is a 4- or 5-loss team.
Oh, here's the full breakdown for the Twitter study, and the infograph below that (Top 25 most "hated" NCAAF teams based on negative tweets):
