Does anyone think a team in this regional will have any discernible crowd advantage? The closest school is Michigan St which is approx. a 7.5hr drive. Obviously NC State, OK, and UofL all require flying.

My guess would be that Mich St would have a couple thousand fans, and the rest will each have several hundred fans. Would assume the rest would be Syracuse locals.
 
I think there will be a larger portion of Louisville and NC State fans than you might think but Michigan St will probably have the most. Oklahoma has a good team but spring football is probably on their fans' minds.
 
I can tell you right now that Louisville will have the most fans at the game, not Michigan State. Even though MSU is closer to Syracuse there are Louisville fans and alumni going to the game who live in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, New York, Illinois, DC., New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts even Kingston, Ontario. Cardnation is everywhere and we travel better than any other college team in the country and yeah I mean any !!
And the game is on a Friday night, oh yeah Cardnation will be there huge and loud !!!!!

Yes, because Michigan State has no fans or alums living in those areas, too. I would put my money on Michigan State. They travel very well and it is an easier trip for them. Also, if there are local Cuse people who attend they will likely pull for the team playing us. They are an obnoxious bunch.
