South Dakota State Gives South Dakota Most College Football Wins Per Capita of Any State

Thirty-one states have more FBS​, FCS​, D2 and D3 college football teams than South Dakota. Thirty states had more wins from their programs last season than South Dakota had from their seven programs, and six states had a higher winning percentage. The Mount Rushmore State, however, had more college football wins per capita in 2017 than any other state — by a mile.

The seven South Dakota programs combined for 47 wins (and 35 losses), 11 of which came from South Dakota State, who went 9-2 during the regular season and 2-1 in the FCS playoffs. The Jackrabbits were one of the lone South Dakota team to win at least 10 games but two others won at least eight: Sioux Falls (D2) went 9-3 and South Dakota (FCS) went 8-5. And none of the state's team won fewer than four games.

The state's 47 wins gives them a nation-high 0.000054 wins per capita (population: 877,890). No other state (including British Columbia and Washington, D.C.) is higher than 0.000035 (West Virginia, 0.000034).

MAP: States With Most CFB Wins

Here's an interactive map of wins per capita, along with a full list of all states sorted by wins per capita.

Note: British Columbia is not included because the province's one team (Simon Fraser Clan went 0-10). And Alaska is the only state without a college football team.
