I don't know if any of y'all have ever been to Sewanee, but it's pretty crazy to think that they were in the SEC when my grandfather was a young man.
I went up there a few years ago. It's crazy to pass by their stadium and think of the behemoth stadiums of their former peers. I'm sure they don't mind though. beautiful campus.

Best part of that map -
Look at how few bowl games there are!
Wished we go back to Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange and add Fiesta, Peach, Citrus and one more.
1-4 and 2-3 play in playoff for national championship.
Other bowl games get 5th and 8th picks, 6th and 7th picks, 9th and 16th picks, 10th and 15th picks, 11th and 14th, and 12th and 13th.

Are they the largest current school not listed?
ETA: I should have said best known. And I see Arizona State isn't on there.

I'd compare Auburn to Berkeley. More people probably know Berkeley as Berkeley, than they do as University of California (at least those who don't watch college sports)

am I missing something, or is Tennessee the only SEC school that does not have a flag on the border of the pic?
Also interesting - Bama, Tulane and Duke are the only Southern teams w flags on the main flag circle

This is awesome. And I couldn't help but notice that South Carolina's pennant says S. Carolina, while Southern California's says USC. Just sayin...
