Fortunately, Joan Niesen with Sports Illustrated took the time to compile a list of the top 10 college football towns in the country. The conclusion? Madison reigns supreme:
Nestled around Lakes Mendota and Monona, Madison is about as picturesque as it gets…And when it’s too cold to take advantage of the lakes, Madison offers a great food and bar scene—drink Spotted Cow while you’re within the Wisconsin state lines—plus, it’s worthwhile to freeze for a late-season football game here.
Ann Arbor was the only other B1G school to make the list and came in at No. 4. Athens, Georgia; Austin, Texas; and Columbia, Missouri rounded out the top five.
