Best home field advantage last 5 years in the SEC

Aggy would be 25-6 if they hadn't put Appalachian State on the schedule

This is kinda misleading. We haven’t played a ton of teams that finished the year top 10 in that span other than Notre Dame in ‘19, Tennessee in ‘22, and Ole Miss & Mizzou in ‘23

I went pretty in depth on this in the fall LINK

Hasn’t been updated since October but here’s the data:

Since 2017

Overall
1. Alabama: 80-9 (.899)
2. Georgia: 79-10 (.888)
3. LSU: 59-25 (.702)
4. Kentucky: 52-30 (.634)
5. Texas A&M: 50-29 (.633)
6. Florida: 49-32 (.605)
7. Auburn: 47-34 (.580)
8. Miss St: 46-36 (.561)
9. Ole Miss: 43-35 (.551)
10. Mizzou: 43-36 (.544)
11. Tennessee: 42-36 (.538)
12. South Carolina: 39-40 (.493)
13. Arkansas: 29-49 (.372)
14. Vanderbilt: 23-54 (.299)

At Home
1. Georgia: 39-1 (.975)
2. Alabama: 38-2 (.950)
3. LSU: 33-7 (.825)
4. Auburn: 33-10 (.767)
5. Florida: 32-10 (.762)
6. Kentucky: 33-12 (.733)
7. Texas A&M: 32-12 (.727)
8. Mizzou: 31-15 (.674)
9. Miss St: 31-15 (.674)
10. Ole Miss: 29-15 (.659)
11. South Carolina: 27-16 (.628)
12. Tennessee: 28-17 (.622)
13. Arkansas: 21-23 (.477)
14. Vanderbilt: 16-27 (.372)

Road/Neutral
1. Alabama: 42-7 (.857)
2. Georgia: 40-9 (.816)
3. LSU: 26-18 (.591)
4. Texas A&M 18-17 (.514)
5. Kentucky: 19-18 (.513)
6. Florida: 17-22 (.436)
7. Tennessee: 14-19 (.424)
8. Miss St: 15-21 (.417)
9. Ole Miss: 14-20 (.412)
10. Auburn: 14-24 (.368)
11. Mizzou: 12-21 (.364)
12. South Carolina: 12-24 (.333)
13. Arkansas: 8-26 (.235)
14. Vanderbilt: 7-27 (.206)

Change in Win Pct
1. Auburn (+.399)
2. Florida (+.326)
3. Mizzou (+.310)
4. South Carolina (+.295)
5. Miss St (+.257)
6. Ole Miss (+.247)
7. Arkansas (+.242)
8. LSU (+.234)
9. Kentucky (+.220)
10. Texas A&M (+.213)
11. Tennessee (+.198)
12. Vanderbilt (+.166)
13. Georgia (+.159)
14. Alabama (+.093)


The above is an awful metric to evaluate this for a number of reasons. Obviously SOS is one factor. Rent-a-wins too. Also, in the case of the teams who have been elite in this span like Georgia and Alabama, the change in win pct can't be very high when the overall win pct is already .800+. We must go deeper.

This is better but there are still a few problems with the metrics above. Sample size, aforementioned issues. To scoring margin we go.

In some cases the sample size is too low for vs top 10, but I think we can get a good consensus by looking at all the metrics combined.

All I gotta say about that graph is Texas and OU are going to find out first-hand what it's like to "play on the road" week-in and week-out in this league. It will not be another day in Romper Rooom Land as they've enjoyed for their histories.

If you’re swapping a loss for a win, it’s 26-6, dumbass.

Look, we all know how much Gump fans like being in Aggy's mouth, but that's no excuse for being a dumb frick.

I didn't swap shite, little boy.

What if Aggy would have lost to Appalachian State on the road or at a neutral site..? Their home record in the last 5 years would be 25-6.

Dumb frick.

It isn't about 1 week anymore.

You hit "submit" too quickly.
Or your reading comprehension is on a Kenny Lofton level.

Excellent work, Diddly!!

Good point. Texas actually had a tougher strength of schedule last year than all but one SEC team (which was Alabama). So if they can smack that team around, you’re telling me it’s actually about to be easier for Texas?

Good to know!

If you think this season is easier, why are you coming into the SEC?

You underestimate the weekly toll that these games are going to take on your depth. SOS doesn't touch on the grind at all. These games are won in the trenches. There isn't an SOS component for that. As a matter of fact, many teams are weaker by seasons end (affecting their impact on the SOS).

Feel free to throw shite against the wall like your screen name seems to do so often. I'm looking forward to the season.
