Missouri is #124 in the latest US News rankings. Clearly, AAU membership should be reviewed.

South Carolina is #118. Tennessee is #112.

Damn, Missouri. Welcome to our Tier.

Sorry, we're a premier AAU university. The big 4 (Missouri, A&M, Vandy, and Florida) are doing great things in the world when it comes to research. Maybe you guys should hold yourselves to higher standards and try to climb up?

Founded in 1900, the Association of American Universities is composed of America’s leading research universities. AAU’s 66 research universities transform lives through education, research, and innovation. Our universities earn the majority of competitively awarded federal funding for academic research and are educating tomorrow’s visionary leaders and global citizens.

It would be for the better good of the conference.

US News rankings?

The CWUR, which at least takes academics into consideration, and isn't pay-to-play has national rankings as follows:

TU - 21
Vandy - 32
aTm - 41
UF - 47
UGA - 73
Mizzou - 77
UT - 84
UK - 99
LSU - 100
SC - 107
Oklahoma - 114
OM - 122
Bama - 129
Arkansas - 146
Auburn - 153
Miss State - 171

From that I would tier it

Tier I
Texas, Vandy, UF, aTm

Tier II
Georgia, Mizzou, UT

Tier III
Kentucky, LSU, USC, OU, OM, Bama

Tier IV
Arkansas, Auburn, Miss St.
