Great guesses, a few were right on. Here's the final answers:
1) Which state has the most D1 football programs? Texas has the most with 12 (Baylor, Houston, North Texas, Rice, SMU, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas State, Texas Tech, UTEP, UTSA). The second most? Ohio, with Akron, Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Kent State, Miami (OH), Ohio, Ohio State, and Toledo.
2) How many states don't have D1 football programs? Who are they? Nine states and the District of Columbia. The states, in declining order of population are NH, ME, RI, MT, DE, SD, ND, AK and VT.
3) What is the largest state, by population, to have no D1 football programs? The largest is New Hampshire, with a population of 1,388,992.
4) What is the smallest state, by population, to have a team? Wyoming, with 576,841 population.
5) Which state has the most population, on average, per D1 football program (think large state, few football factories). New York was a good guess, with just three teams. Their average is 6,611,971 per team, which puts them at second. First is New Jersey at 9,267,130 with just one team, Rutgers. Third is Missouri, with 6,168,187 residents and just one team, Mizzou. #4 to #6 are Wisconsin, Minnesota and California, all between 5.6 mms and 5.9 mms. population per college.
