re: Ranking the SEC schools academically?

Auburn and Alabama go back and forth as far as who's ahead, but both are top 100 every year. At that point it's completely subjective. Both are good schools, both have their strengths and weaknesses. I don't completely understand Alabama's comparatively low test scores, unless it really is just to add revenue since most of those marginal students are only in school for a semester or two before dropping out.
