The OP was obviously talking about in the actual city, not metro area.
Then the answer might be Chicago. Depaul, U of Chicago and UIC do not have football, Northwestern is in Evanston.

Jacksonville, FL doesn't have college football to my knowledge and Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida by population...

SMU is in Dallas, were it in Richardson then that wouldn't count, unless we can get a clarification on the criteria. Does metro area count? If so how far out is considered metro area? If we are counting DIII, I'm guessing it will be hard to find a city over 50,000 with out a CFB team.

I don't think the Hop plays football. Uninteristing true fact: the Hopkins basketball coach is my mom's neighbor (well, he's since retired). Towson isn't in Baltimore (saying Towson is Baltimore is like saying Metarie is New Orleans), so that doesn't count. Separate school.
I'd go with Coppin as the biggest football program in Baltimore. They're FCS.

My company is in Tucker, GA, but we list it as Atlanta because, well, dude...
My home ZIP code can either be called Atlanta or East Point...

All that said, I think that Chicago would be the answer to the question.

I was waiting for one of you guys to say that, but I didn't expect it to be you, Dan...
