I've came across at least one fan of every other P5 school either here, on Fannation or IRL, but I can't recall ever meeting a fan of any of those 4 schools.

I'd never encountered a Wake Forest fan until I met @Hitman Hart and never a Washington State fan until I met @wazzu31

Plenty of Kansas State fans IRL. I work with a lot Milling groups, who tend to come from K-State, always mention Pops was a Sooner, just to see their reaction.

I'm a bit of a K-State fan. I spent a few years there and got the "college experience" thanks to K-State even though I didn't go to college there.

I knew a bunch of K-State fans. But they are almost all really close to Manhattan. You get outside Manhattan and north of it - Nebraska fans, south of it - Oklahoma fans, and of course some people like Kansas Basketball.

Yes
Yes
Yes
No

But mainly because I played against those schools in college so, it's sort of cheating.

It's a small base, but TCU fans are stand up folks in my opinion. When Boise played them seven years back in the Fiesta Bowl, they were 3rd in the polls and absolutely loaded, particularly on defense. We were #6 but pretty heavy underdogs in the game and we jumped up and got them, shut them completely down on offense. While they seemed somewhat surprised, the ones that I encountered were all class all the way. Two years later they came to our place as heavy dogs when we were #3 and they ended up upsetting us by one on a series of ballsy calls followed by a two point conversion late and then a missed chip shot field goal by us with no time left. It was the same story for the fans that did travel to Boise for that one. Classy bunch and very gracious in victory. Much respect.

Purdue and NC State, yeah.

KState and TCU I've never even seen anyone wear their Tshirts.

KState I understand, since the Jayhawks are so dominate in football.

Of course living in Texas I see a lot of TCU fans, most of them stay in the DFW area though. I met a lot of K state fans when they came down for the Alamo Bowl, they loved San Antonio's downtown. My boss is also a k-state alum. I'm way too far out of the footprint to have met an NC state or Purdue fan, and I didn't go to the Alamo Bowl when Purdue upset Kstate.

K-State is my secondary team, I'm an alum. Small forum(s) presence though. Every now and then we have one pop up but they don't seem to stick around.

I have a couple buddies that got their degrees in Milling Science. Pretty exclusive program at KSU.... they both made 6 figures within 2 years after graduating.

Purdue, yes. Including some grads. One KS fan too, but that might have just had something to do with Xbox.

My boss is a K-State grad. And I've ventured onto their forums when we played them (never go to goemaw.com). Went to the Liberty Bowl when we played them.

We play TCU at home this year so I'm sure I'll have plenty of interactions with them. Don't think I've ever met a Purdue or NC State fan.

The fact that Oregon has played 3 of the 4 in the last decade, yes to all but NC state
