Best state in the south for football at all levels (high school, college, pro)?

bea5t, you know about the Iron Bowl man, you know the impact it has on people in this state I live in. I mean its a religion down in Alabama, one of the most infamous and classic rivalries of all time, you have it Alabama/Auburn. It talked about everywhere, schools, stores, malls, everywhere.

How can someone not look at that and say that Alabama is not the biggest Southern state with the best stats to back it up.
