According to The Score, only two states in the entire nation are pulling for Clemson football to win the National Championship.
Clemson football will take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first round of the CFB Playoff in t-minus two weeks.
The Tigers will be looking to advance back to the National Championship game for a third year in the last four.
According to The Score, not much of the nation will be pulling for the Tigers to pick up their second National Title in the last three years.
Here’s a look at the map of what team each state is most likely to pull for, according to The Score.

#ALLIN brand…
The poll used “geotagging Twitter data” dating back to selection Sunday to see which school had the most support in each state, according to the poll.
Oklahoma leads the poll with 26 states. Alabama is second, followed by Notre Dame and then Clemson is last.
The only two states that had the most favorable support toward the Tigers included South Carolina [shocker] and Rhode Island. I’m not really sure how Rhode Island decided on Clemson football.
I guess they just don’t really care about College Football, so they’re pulling against the big brands.
This poll, in my opinion, just shows the power of some of those bigger CFB brands from around the country. Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Alabama are three of the largest fan bases in the country.
They’ve got fans all over the nation.
Clemson, because of the relative newness to the scene as a national power, doesn’t quite have that large of a fanbase compared to the other three, but make no mistake, that #ALLIN brand is alive and powerful.
People recognize that Tiger paw. Recruits want offers from Clemson because that’s a destination school.
If things continue over the next few years as they should, I think you’ll see this map start to slowly become more favorable to Clemson. As more and more people realize the staying power of Dabo Swinney and his program, you’re going to start to see people jump on the bandwagon.
If they don’t, it’s certainly a fun little way to create a chip for the shoulder at the very least.
