Ultimately choosing what college to go to should consider academics first. However athletics are a vital part of the college experience so I decided to make a list weighing academics 75% and athletics 25%. Within the athletics ranking I factored football 60% Basketball 25% Baseball 10% and all other sports 5%. What do you guys think?

1. Florida
2. Georgia
3. Alabama
4. Vanderbilt
5. Ole Miss
6. South Carolina
7. LSU
8. Missouri
9. Auburn
10. Texas A&M
11. Arkansas
12. Kentucky
13. Tennessee
14. Mississippi State

How exactly do you calculate "academics" ?

The sports part is easy.

Drugs and alcohol also play a vital part.

You need to rework.

A&M should be higher if you're ranking Academics that heavily. They are top 5 in the SEC in academics, and also field a solid football team.

Here's a hint. If you're going to weigh academics 75%, then weigh academics 75%

Academic Prestige (tie goes to AAU status) counts for 75% of the ranking (multiply ranking by .75 for aggregate)

1 - Vanderbilt
2 - Florida
3 - Texas A&M
4 - Georgia
5 - Missouri
6 - Alabama
6 - Auburn
6 - Tennessee
9 - LSU
9 - South Carolina
11 - Arkansas
11 - Kentucky
13 - Ole Miss
14 - Mississippi State

For overall athletic ranking, multiply ranking by a .25 aggregate:

1 - Florida
2 - LSU
3 - Texas A&M
4 - Alabama
5 - Arkansas
6 - Tennessee
7 - Kentucky
8 - Georgia
9 - South Carolina
10 - Ole Miss
11 - Vanderbilt
12 - Missouri
13 - Auburn
14 - Mississippi State

So, aggregate rankings:

1 - Florida (2.5 aggregate)
2 - Texas A&M (3 aggregate)
3 - Vanderbilt (3.5 aggregate)
4 - Alabama (4.75 aggregate)
5 - Georgia (5 aggregate)
6 - Tennessee (5.75 aggregate)
7 - Missouri (6.75 aggregate)
8 - LSU (7.25 aggregate)
9 - Auburn (7.75 aggregate)
10 - South Carolina (9 aggregate)
11 - Arkansas (9.5 aggregate)
12 - Kentucky (10 aggregate)
13 - Ole Miss (12.25 aggregate)
14 - Mississippi State (14 aggregate)
