College football fans are a passionate bunch, but it's surprising how far some would be willing to go to ensure a championship for their team.

StudySoup surveyed more than 1,000 college sports fans to determine which conferences have the most fanatical fan bases. SEC fans were most willing to add tuition debt and give up a paycheck for a national title, while one-third of Sun Belt fans said they'd fail a semester's worth of classes to guarantee a championship.

The study also broke down the most devoted fans by school, with Alabama earning top honors.
