The final tally...

If you've taken the time to wade through the greatest football roadtrip of all time, you already know that you would be sitting through a whole lot of football games.

Before I'm willing to let it go, I figured I'd tally everything up, just to put it in perspective.

Here's a look at the routes you'd be driving (roughly, not following specific roads), thanks to Tony.


Thassa lotta drivin.

And this one shows the states where you'd see a college game. You'd also see NFL games in Washington State and Washington, DC.

You would see these teams play at home: Cincinnati (twice), Central Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Florida State (definitely once, possibly twice), Ohio University (twice), Marshall (twice), Ohio State, TCU, UTEP, Texas Tech, Boise State, Utah, Oregon, Fresno State (twice), Colorado State, Oklahoma, North Texas, Louisiana-Lafayette, NC State, LSU, Maryland, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia Tech (twice), Memphis, West Virginia, Louisville (twice), South Carolina, Miami of Ohio, Toledo, Michigan, Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, Pittsburgh, Florida, Southern Cal, and maybe Tulane and Clemson.

You would see these teams wearing their road jerseys: Eastern Michigan, Indiana, Bowling Green (three times), Louisville, Miami FL (twice), Pitt, Kansas State, Texas, Utah, Houston, Sam Houston State, Air Force, Southern Cal, Toledo (twice), Air Force, Kansas State, Troy, Florida Atlantic, Clemson, Florida, Virginia Tech, Arkansas, Tennessee, Boston College, UAB, Connecticut, Pitt, Toledo, Southern Miss, West Virginia (twice), Rutgers, Florida, Northern Illinois, Ohio State, Western Michigan, Florida State (definitely once, maybe twice), Louisiana Tech, UCLA, and possibly UTEP and Maryland.

You would also get to see Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and Georgia at neutral sites.

You would travel to see these NFL teams play at their home stadiums: Browns, Seahawks, Chiefs, Cowboys, Saints, Falcons, Ravens, Redskins, Panthers, Eagles, Bengals, Chargers, and possible Texans.

And you would see these NFL teams on the road: Bengals (twice), Cardinals, Eagles (three times), Falcons, Jets (twice), Cowboys, Colts, Raiders, and possibly Steelers.

To break it down by conference, you would see games in at least one stadium of every D-1A league.
ACC: Florida State (definitely once, possibly twice), NC State, Maryland, Virginia Tech (twice), and maybe Clemson

Big East: Cincinnati (twice), West Virginia, Louisville (twice), Pittsburgh

Big Ten: Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan

Big XII: Texas Tech, Oklahoma

C-USA: Marshall (twice), Memphis, and maybe Tulane

Mid-American: Central Michigan, Ohio University (twice), Miami of Ohio, Toledo, Bowling Green, Northern Illinois

Mountain West: TCU, UTEP, Utah, Colorado State

Pac-10: Oregon, Southern Cal

SEC: Kentucky, LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Florida

Sun Belt: North Texas, Louisiana-Lafayette

WAC: Boise State, Fresno State (twice), South Carolina

In all, you would see 12 or 13 NFL stadiums (don't they all look alike anyway?) and a total of anywhere from 16-18 NFL teams.

Not bad.
