Home state as listed on the CFBD roster, against the state of the team's own home stadium. Only the 50 states and DC count toward the denominator — raw roster data also carries international hometowns (Australian states, Canadian provinces) and blanks, which are excluded rather than silently counted as states. Teams need at least 25 in-scope players to be ranked.
