Who has the current Third best overall athletic Program?

All sports should be taken into account when discussing best overall athletic programs.

Actually, according to the 2012-2013 Capital One Cup Standings, it would be:

1. Florida: 171 pts (#4 Men, #6 Women)
2. Texas A&M: 142 pts (#2 Men, #12 Women)
3. Alabama: 97 pts (#6 Men, #36 Women)
4. Georgia: 70 pts (#23 Men, #24 Women)
5. Arkansas: 69 pts (#14 Men, #36 Women)
6. LSU: 67 pts (#31 Men, #21 Women)
7. Tennessee: 57 pts (#77 Men, #13 Women)
8. Mississippi State: 36 pts (#18 Men, NR Women)
9. Kentucky: 23 pts (#65 Men, #38 Women)
10. Vandy: 18 pts (#69 Men, #40 Women)
T11. South Carolina: 12 pts (#52 Men, NR Women)
T11. Ole Miss: 12 pts (#58 Men, #76 Women)
13. Auburn: 8 pts (#85 Men, #56 Women)
14. Mizzou: 4 pts (#82 Men, NR Women)

Yeah if you're talking all sports you'd have to do a good bit of research. UF would still be number one but look at all this

- A&M has really good women's bball and softball
- SC has really good equestrian (along with the other sports you mentioned) and have ranked golf and tennis teams I believe
- UGA is a tennis powerhouse, great equestrian too I believe
- AU has great equestrian and I believe swimming
- Arkansas is a track powerhouse
- 'Bama is a gymnastics powerhouses

etc. etc. etc.


But yes, SC finished #4 in football, is ranked #1 in baseball, and our women's bball team will be a 2 seed in the tourny so we are doing well in the more prominently featured sports.

Not a legit competition. If I'm not mistaken they consider sports that some schools, like us, don't have, so we automatically get zeroes added into our score.

Historically LSU. Recently UF has been solid.

If we're talking all sports, Alabama has won national titles in men's golf, women's golf, gymnastics, softball, and obviously football in the last three years. Also have been in the baseball and basketball NCAA tournaments in that span.
