Five of the top 10 neighbors are journalists — Brett McMurphy at 0.90, Bruce Feldman at 0.89, Stewart Mandel at 0.88, Pete Thamel at 0.85, and Joe Schad at 0.84 — forming one clear peak in Banner Society's two-peak shape. The second peak is built from college football infrastructure: The Athletic CFB at 0.87 (a fellow News Publisher), Reddit College Football at 0.87, and AP Top 25 at 0.85, both Websites. Together, these two clusters — beat journalists and CFB-specific platforms — account for the structural core of the neighbor set.
The remaining two positions in the top 10 pull in different directions. Total Frat Move, a Humor Memes and Satire account, lands at 0.85, sitting just below the journalist cluster. PFF Draft, a Sports brand, closes the top 10 at 0.83. Neither fits the journalist or platform cluster, but both score high enough to confirm that the audience shape extends slightly beyond pure CFB media consumption. Banner Society itself is a News Publisher, and The Athletic CFB is the only other News Publisher in the top 10 — the rest of the neighbor set is dominated by individual journalists rather than institutional outlets.
The two-peak structure here reflects an audience that follows both the reporters who break college football news and the aggregation hubs where that news circulates.
