There's a ranking for everything in college football.

USA Today created the Fan Index this year to "determine the ultimate college football fan base." The index combined fan voting and social media activity throughout the season to determine the rankings.

"College football fan bases are the most passionate and rabid in all of sports," said Dave Morgan, the president of USA Today Sports Media Group. "The Fan Index is designed to actually quantify the passion each school's fan base generates beyond the games themselves, as well as to determine which traditions and fan experiences resonate the most with fans around the country."

Rutgers finished No. 64 in the rankings. That put the Scarlet Knights behind 12 Big Ten schools, including No. 1 Ohio State. Only Northwestern, which ranked No. 67, finished behind Rutgers. The Big Ten finished second to the SEC in the conference power rankings based on the average ranking for their teams.

It's a fun list to look through to see where different programs ranked. Each week, there was a vote on a topic. Here are the winners in each category:
