I would say this list is pretty spot on for the most part..
I do believe Florida is the best coaching job in Cfb, as a matter of fact, I'll go on record and say that the entire athletic dept. at Florida is stellar. You Gators have a machine going on down there in Gainesville. Would love to see SC win championships in multiple sports like ya'll..
As much as I hate to say it, I agree with UGA's ranking too.
What say you?

Texas, USC, UF, Ohio State are all about equally good jobs IMO

With the SEC Network money about to come roaring in, the Gators, already the supremely dominant program in the state based on revenue and fan support, are poised to create even greater distance between themselves, Florida State and Miami. Within the next five years Florida's athletic department will be 60 or 70 million dollars a year bigger than FSU's.

8. Texas A&M
The Aggies are the biggest beneficiary of conference realignment on this list. Just as Florida now has the exclusive right to sell the SEC brand in the state of Florida, the Aggies have the exclusive right to sell the SEC brand in the state of Texas. That's an invaluable asset. Since recruiting is ultimately about salesmanship, being able to offer something that your competitors can't is often the distinguishing factor that leads a recruit to pick one school over another.
While many have focused on Johnny Manziel and Kevin Sumlin to argue that the Aggie rise isn't sustainable that misses the larger direction of the program -- the SEC was eventually going to awaken the Aggie sleeping giant -- it was a question of when that would happen, not if.
Combine the exclusive SEC recruiting pitch with a remade stadium, absurd new facilities and the growing wealth that will be rolling in from the SEC Network and the Aggies are poised to crack the top five jobs in the country over the next 10 years.
Texas and Georgia too high. Move LSU up and this is pretty solid.

Top 20 and climbing! The sleeping giant is almost awake! 
20. South Carolina
Want a stat that's guaranteed to win you a bar bet? The Gamecocks did not win their first bowl game until 1995. 1995! That's one reason I always found it funny that prognosticators said Texas A&M and Missouri would struggle in the SEC. Both of those schools have infinitely better historical performances in football than South Carolina did when it joined the conference in 1992. What South Carolina's rise proves is two-fold: 1) your coach matters 2) the SEC's rising tide has lifted all boats. Particularly if your school is in a state that has consistently produced great talent.
South Carolina ... benefits from the state of North Carolina's failure to produce a football powerhouse. The Gamecocks are very close to Atlanta and not far from top players in Georgia. Plus, they have a long-suffering fan base that supported the teams even when they were awful. Which was most of the time. Now that they're finally good, the Gamecocks are ready to ascend further on this list. The only question that remains -- and it has to torment big Gamecock fans -- is will the program return to mediocrity once Spurrier retires?
24. Clemson ... What's the difference between Clemson and South Carolina, you might be asking? Try about $40 million a year, that's how much bigger South Carolina's athletic department is going to be once the SEC Network money starts rolling in.
Note to author: SCAR's athletic department is already $100 million richer than Clemson's.

It's a testament to Nick Saban that he did such a good job raising LSU from the dead that even a decade after his departure from the school, LSU has been good for so long that most people don't even remember the disastrous 1980s and 1990s. In college football, all triumph is cyclical.
Did McElroy write this shite?

7. LSU
Per capita, the state of Louisiana produces more college football players than any other state in the country. Many of those players are incredibly talented. Given that LSU is the only major school in the entire state, all those top players want to go to LSU. Toss in the fact that the SEC recently expanded to Texas, giving LSU a direct entree into the fertile East Texas recruiting market and we're talking about a job so good even the grass tastes good.

Looks pretty good with the exception of Oregon. Only thing Oregon has is the financial backing of Nike. No fertile recruiting grounds, no history of winning championships, nothing.
ETA Texas AM shouldnt be in the top 15.

Auburn has 726 career football wins. That's good enough for 13th in the country. But Alabama has 838 wins. The state of Alabama is the only state with two programs in the top 13 for all-time wins.

If this is factual, I fully ecpect FSU to be on its hands and knees for Slive when te next round of expansion talk comes about.
With that said I wants NC State and Va Tech

I mean.. this is an SEC forum site, so I assumed it would be implied. Gee whiz man..

SC is about right on there. It's a lot better than it used to be, especially since the facilities and the donors are getting up there on the elite level.
Winning fixes everything.
