Twenty-nine states are rooting for Michigan to win their first National Championship since 1997.
Of course, two Big 10 teams are in the CFP (also, No. 4 Ohio State). However, out of 10 states with a Big Ten school, none outside of Ohio are rooting for the Buckeyes.
In fact, Nebraska is actually one of 11 states pulling for the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs to repeat. That makes them the second-most rooted for team in the country, with most of the supporters coming from the SEC-area.

The six states other than Ohio supporting the Buckeyes are West Virginia, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Idaho.
Michigan's opponent, No. 3 TCU, has the backing of its home state, as well as Oklahoma and New Mexico.
