  • eBay-owned ticket marketplace, StubHub, has launched a new weekly scorecard aimed at gauging the “true popularity” of college football teams among fans, based on its own internal data.

    StubHub’s system uses the AP Top 25 as a starting point, then uses the weekly pageviews for the teams, and ranks them by which are the most popular. Each Tuesday, StubHub releases the rankings. At the end of the year, they’ll unveil which were the most popular of the season.

    Here’s what StubHub’s top 25 looks like right now:

    1. USC
    2. Alabama
    3. LSU
    4. Oklahoma
    5. Oregon
    6. Georgia
    7. Florida State
    8. Michigan
