If you could chose another CFB team to support ...

The idea is to have the most fun, win or lose, weather, food, tailgating, low intensity but fun football, nice location, etc.

Ole Miss.

Never been there, but in the South, they're gonna tailgate and have fun whether their team is 12-0 or 0-12. And I've heard there are few finer places to tailgate than Ole Miss. And I've heard great things about the "scenery". 

In the other thread, from a football perspective I'd say Virginia Tech. But Blacksburg is in the middle of nowhere and I don't really know anything--even by rumor--about their gameday culture.

I chose a service academy, and mine, based on basically nothing, is Navy. Well, it's probably based on living in Jacksonville from ages 9-14 and going on the USS Saratoga.  Big navy town.  
.
They can go 0-12, but you still have a sense of pride in them, for all that they do.

K-State has been this team for me.  Iowa State would be another but not on the list

Ames and Manhattan are close enough I could drive and have some fun.

Colorado

I always love watching games in that stadium, particularly if some light snow is blowing around.  Granted aside from a decade of being elite, they've mostly just been bad, so maybe it would be frustrating than worth it

I went when tOSU played there in 2015. Their GameDay culture gets high marks from me. It is a beautiful area in the mountains of western Virginia, Lane Stadium is nice, and I enjoyed their "Enter Sandman" Stadium entrance. Also, I posted here about going and got invited to a local tailgate and it was great.

Finally, the hotel in which Dirty Dancing was filmed is nearby. It is called Mountain Lake Lodge which is ironic because the lake drained a few years ago. The hotel is also right on the Appalachian Trail. My wife and I stayed there and I still get emails from them about GameDay packages. 

Personally, I am no fan of Dirty Dancing but if your wife or girlfriend grew up in the 80's, she is.

I once referred to Virginia Tech as being in western Virginia on these here threads, and it created quite the uproar. 

One poster even tried to argue that it was "northern" Virginia. Bay Area Badger, iirc.

Been through Blacksburg, granted during the summer.  Ghost town.

Kansas was funny. KC, Lawrence and Manhattan just bing bing bing, all right in a row. Then there isn't squat for the remaining 90% of the state. After that, there continues to not be squat until Denver. 

For perspective, the drive from Columbus to KC is about the same distance as the drive from KC to Denver.

Stanford has always been my #2 team.  If I could have picked a second one, it would have been Air Force.  I came very, very close to attending USAFA.
