Having not watched a lot of Big 12 games not involving Texas and Oklahoma I cannot comment on how much football fans at ISU, KU, and K-State care about that sport.
 
But if attendance is a factor, over the past 5 - years, here are the average numbers:
 
VT - 66,233
[B]WVU - 57,332*[/B]
UNC - 57,221
NC State - 56,521
TTU - 53,648
UVa - 51,005
[I]Okla State - 50,009 (edited to include the Cowboys' numbers which were mistakently not included)[/I]
GT - 48,807
[B]ISU - 48,443[/B]
Miami - 47,733
[B]K-State - 47,636[/B]
[B]KU - 47,081[/B]
Pitt - 46,856*
Md - 45,038
BC - 38,564
SU - 37,619*
Baylor - 37,194
TCU - 34,949*
Wake - 31,697
Duke - 25,651
 
*New Conference - attendance numbers likely to go up as a result.
 
Bold - likely divisional mates with FSU and Clemson.
 
Again, not sure what the above says to your point about being better football fans, but it doesn't appear to me that once you get past Texas and Oklahoma the Big 12 fan bases are not demonstrably better than the ACC until you get to the very bottom.
 
Still, I do understand why an FSU football fan would consider the Big 12 an acceptable alternative.
 
Cheers,
Neil
