A not-so-usual rankings: NCAA crowd rankings
Mon, Aug 4, 2008 by Nash Castro
1 San Beda College – The San Beda faithful attendance has been pretty much consistent. The opening day crowd was enough buffer, while they had their usual share in the San Beda-Letran match.
2 Colegio de San Juan de Letran – Coming in second is Letran. It was a pleasant surprise that the San Beda-Letran game was an even half between the two. In most occasions in the Sam Ekwe-era, Bedans outnumber the Letranites in their faceoffs.
3 Jose Rizal University – On a per game average, the JRU crowd is a constant. The catch is that they are usually situated in the bleachers, away from camera range. The thing going for them is that you know they are there since they cheer nonstop.
4 University of Perpetual Help System Dalta – A mild shock at fourth spot is Perpetual Help. They come in droves. Must be the proximity of Cuneta Astrodome from their campus. Better still, they usually occupy the lower box areas.
5 Philippine Christian University – The PCU gallery matches the Bomber crowd in intensity despite being lesser than the latter. Probably giving their all for that one last hurrah.
6 San Sebastian College Recoletos – They had a sizeable crowd early on, but they faltered on the latter part of the first round.
7 Mapua Institute of Technology – A school which is infamous for having five cheerleaders and a bass drum for its gallery, the hosts had a spike in attendance in its last two games of the first round.
8 College of Saint Benilde – If not for that last-minute catch up by Mapua, St. Benilde would not be dead last since they have a decent number helped by the early winning streak the Blazers had.
