This doesn't disprove USC are fair weather fans. It's basing just off of Week 3, which USC did and has been great. Now, if they are still in the Top 10 on this list after an 8-4 or 7-5 record or worse, then that disproves it.

Iowa's the only one in the Midwest to make the tailgating poll. I'm happy with that.
