| September 5, 2011 at 12:00 pm | 0 Comments
1 of 12

No. 12 Miami, FL - Miami Hurricanes

No. 12 Miami, FL - Miami Hurricanes
Never before has the band wagon been unloading like it is now for Miami. Pending \"death penalty\" type accusations, and an opening game loss for new head coach Al Golden, has Hurricane fans jumping ship left and right. Expect tailgates at Sun Life Stadium to be lackluster to say the least.
2 of 12

No. 11 Durham, NC - Duke Blue Devils

No. 11 Durham, NC - Duke Blue Devils
This is Duke football, not basketball. The outlook for this year isn\'t good, and Blue Devil fans aren\'t too excited. Saturday gamedays in Durham aren\'t anything to go out of your way for this year.
3 of 12

No. 10 Winston-Salem, NC - Wake Forest Demon Deacons

No. 10 Winston-Salem, NC - Wake Forest Demon Deacons
One of the worst offense in the league has led to one of the most unexciting gamedays. The only thing keeping Wake Forest from the bottom two slots is that their campus has a good tailgating set-up.
4 of 12

No. 9 Chestnut Hill, MA - Boston College Eagles

No. 9 Chestnut Hill, MA - Boston College Eagles
Boston College\'s campus is already one of the most non-tailgater friendly campuses in the country. Combine this with an opening game loss at home to to Northwestern, and BC fans are already looking to next year.
5 of 12

No. 8 Atlanta, GA - Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

No. 8 Atlanta, GA - Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Tech fans are excited about this young Georgia Tech team, however most of them are looking to next year for a big season. Fans will have campus buzzing on Saturdays, but compared to next year the atmosphere will be below average.
6 of 12

No. 7 Charlottesville, VA - Virginia Cavaliers

No. 7 Charlottesville, VA - Virginia Cavaliers
Good thing this list isn\'t completely based on your teams 2011 season projections Cavalier fans. Charlottesville and UVA\'s campus are always fun to tailgate, and it shouldn\'t be any different this year.
7 of 12

No. 6 Raleigh, NC - NC State Wolfpack

No. 6 Raleigh, NC - NC State Wolfpack
Despite the loss of QB Russel Wilson to transferring, Wolfpack fans are charged up after the solid season they had last year. Coach Tom O\'Brien has the program on the right track, and fans around Raleigh are showing him loads of support on gamedays.
8 of 12

No. 5 Chapel Hill, NC - UNC Tar Heels

No. 5 Chapel Hill, NC - UNC Tar Heels
Despite the loss of head coach Butch Davis and a handful of sanctions, Tar Heel fans are still excited about this team. UNC has a beautiful campus that is great for tailgating.
9 of 12

No. 4 College Park, MD - Maryland Terrapins

No. 4 College Park, MD - Maryland Terrapins
New head coach Randy Edsall gave the Terp fan base a shot of life with a fantastic opening season win over the Hurricanes. This win, and the promising outlook for the future of Maryland football, should put some excitement in NC State gamedays for the 2011 season.
10 of 12

No. 3 Clemson, SC - Clemson Tigers

No. 3 Clemson, SC - Clemson Tigers
This is Clemson, arguably the best tailgating town in the ACC. The only thing keeping it from the top two is FSU\'s recent resurgence into the national spotlight, and a pretty good Hokies team in Blacksburg.
11 of 12

No. 2 Blacksburg, VA - Virginia Tech Hokies

No. 2 Blacksburg, VA - Virginia Tech Hokies
Blacksburg is never a pushover when it comes to tailgating. This year the Hokies look good enough to keep fans excited all season.
12 of 12

No. 1 Tallahassee, FL - FSU Seminoles

No. 1 Tallahassee, FL - FSU Seminoles
Welcome back to prominence FSU fans. This is what it felt like in the 90\'s. With a preseason No. 6 ranking, and a team that looks to be the real deal, Tallahassee will be partying like it\'s 1999 all year long.
