AP College football poll by state

In the most recent AP college football poll, the ranked schools represent 19 of 50 states. What states are most represented? I did a simple exercise of dividing total votes received by the population of the state. Oklahoma, Utah and Mississippi came out on top. All had multiple schools in the polls with a relatively small population.

Results from the November 21, 2021 AP top 25 poll.
