what state has the most div. 1 football teams? and who has the most ncaa football teams... dosent that make a diffrance by thinning out that states recuiting prospects...

Texas has so many that even OU has more than half of their roster from the great Lone Star state

Probably California.

I live in NC and we have like 8

they gotta have more than 15

why does the teams per state thin out recruiting prospects??? you need to find the number of schools, then divide by the eligible population of 18 year old males who play footbal. neither of us is going to figure that out because we are too lazy. however, i would say that florida, new york, and california have the highest number of colleges for bowl subdivision football teams. again, were both too lazy to figure it out.

Texas has UT, UTEP, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, TCU, North Texas, Houston, and Rice all in the FBS.

That's a lot of major college football teams, even though the rest of the schools can't really compete in-state with UT.

EDIT: Hey, scifientist, what are the other two? I only found eight...

Texas has ten schools in Div 1-A. You forgot Baylor and SMU (to go along with the University of Texas, UTEP, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, TCU, North Texas, Houston, and Rice).



FYI. Pennsylvania has the most Div 1-AA schools with nine and a whopping 17 Div II schools!

Ohio might be up there, there are 2 of them right by were I live UT & BGSU. That is 8 just division 1 not counting 1-A.
