UT wasn\u2019t far behind. 27.4% picked the Longhorns.<\/p>\n
After the two SEC rivals, the rankings took a significant drop:<\/p>\n
University of Houston: 11.2%<\/p>\n
Texas Tech: 10.3%<\/p>\n
Baylor: 9.6%<\/p>\n
SMU: 6.7%<\/p>\n
TCU: 5.1%<\/p>\n
So, Houston, your Cougars landed in third place, which is either a compliment or a warning depending on who you ask.<\/p>\n
The poll also found a pretty interesting political split.<\/p>\n
Among Republican voters, 31.9% said UT fans were the most obnoxious, compared with 24.1% who picked Texas A&M.<\/p>\n
Democratic voters flipped the script: 37% picked Texas A&M, while 20.9% chose UT.<\/p>\n
And among voters who identified as neither Republican nor Democrat, Texas A&M led UT 38.2% to 23%.<\/p>\n
The biggest plot twist may be coming from younger voters.<\/p>\n
Among Texans ages 18 to 29, Texas Tech actually took the top spot with 24.1%.<\/p>\n
Texas A&M followed at 20.4%, UT was at 18.2% and TCU came in at 17.3%.<\/p>\n
That means if the younger generation gets its way, the college football \u201cmost obnoxious\u201d crown could eventually be heading to Lubbock.<\/p>\n
The poll was conducted Aug. 24-26 among 1,167 likely Texas voters. Respondents completed an online questionnaire, and the results were weighted to reflect the state\u2019s likely-voter population.<\/p>\n
Of course, this is all just for fun \u2014 but with college football season officially underway, we\u2019re guessing some fan bases may have a few thoughts about these results.<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re a Texas A&M fan reading this…<\/p>\n
Congratulations!<\/p>\n
