*Memphis doesn’t have a Facebook page dedicated to its football team

Because Memphis doesn’t have a Facebook page dedicated to its football team, I figured it wasn’t fair to do overall rankings. That said, it’s clear Tulsa has the smallest following and UCF has the largest following. UCF ranked No. 1 in both Twitter and Instagram followings, while Houston holds the No. 1 spot on Facebook. As for Tulsa, they have the smallest following on Twitter and Instagram. ECU has the smallest Facebook following but that’s for their official page; they have some really large followings on some of their fan pages.
