re: Which SEC school has the worst overall sports program currently?

Since they started keeping Director's Cup standings in 1992 or 1993, Alabama has never finished ahead of Tennessee. Alabama is usually about 5th or 6th overall in the SEC. Florida is usually 1st followed by UGA, Tennessee, and LSU who flip flop based on the year.

Alabama finished 3rd last year behind Florida and Georgia according to a Florida poster on page 4 so that's not entirely true. Most year that's the case because there is equal weight to all the sports and Alabama has sucked complete a## in women's basketball, men's and women's track and field, women's swimming, and men's tennis all of which are sports that most SEC schools are really good at. Alabama is usually great at 1 of the big 3, solid in the other 2 Big 3 sports, great in 2 or 3 spring sports, and absolutely horrible in all the other sports. It all adds up to average at best Sears Cup numbers. Last year, we happened to be really good in more sports than normal.
