Back in early October, we offered up the Top 25 post-game party schools in college football. Now that the regular season is over, we’ve revisited, revamped and re-ranked the best spots to keep the party going.

Yes, the team has left town (perhaps to go bowling), but the celebration is still going strong.

One of the truly fantastic attributes of college football is even though the season ends, the passion never, ever dies.

Indeed, it may transform temporarily into a less volatile form, but the burning flame of a beautiful obsession, a tempting infatuation and a crazed zeal bubbles just under the surface ultimately causing the true fanatic to glow like a Christmas light in the snow.

To honor this blazing ember, here’s 25 localities that keep the light on for fans that need to drown their sorrows, lift a glass to victory, sit back and soak in a great campaign or boost their courage as they look forward to next season.

It’s a travelogue designed to aid the merry-making scheduler bent on making the 2012 season a road tripper's delight.

Schools that dropped from the original rankings: Missouri, Colorado and Penn State.
