Texas is by far the biggest state in the country. It is twice as big as any of the home states of the schools you listed, except for Florida (which has Florida State and Miami splitting football allegiances). It has more "T-shirt" fans than any school in the country.
And it consistently ranks top 5-10 in actual gameday attendance.
Texas is easily top five in total fanbase (even though it's impossible to completely quantify complete fanbase sizes). It has one of the highest alumni bases of any university. It sits in a huge state, where football is king, and most casual fans are UT fans.
