No surprise there. Lexington is a great city to visit and live in and their metrics reflect that. If Commonwealth were a girl it'd be a 7 but looks like a 5 because it's mostly surrounded by 9s and 10s.

LSU is gonna stomp a mudhole in Arkansas this year, and I won't be overly happy about it because that's how it should be, TBH.

I agree that Georgia has more "dots" than A&M, but it has fewer than LSU.

UK got hit for the history and the atmosphere.
It's been a long time since I was there, but I always thought the atmosphere in Commonwealth was surprisingly good. I'd put UK higher (or lower, ranking from worst to first).

Well, that's disingenuous.
Well its the truth.
Until Saban, Bama only had 3 recorded wins over Top 5 teams inside Bryant-Denny. THREE.
In 1964, Bama beat #9 Florida, 17-14
In 1981, Bama beat #7 Mississippi State, 13-10
In 1999, Bama beat #9 Mississippi State, 19-7
Those 3 all came in roughly 17-year increments. If those were the epic wins in Bryant-Denny lore pre-Saban, that's pretty pathetic.
It would be 2014 before Alabama beat a Top 5 team inside Bryant-Denny (#1 Mississippi State).
To date, Bama has just 8 wins against Top 10 teams inside Bryant-Denny... five of which have occurred since 2007.
All of this goes to prove my point that while Bryant-Denny might be a very nice venue to watch a football game, it is absolutely vacant of historic moments in the annals of college football lore. It's laughable that someone would say that the stadium scores a 10 out of 10 in terms of history. And in my opinion, it destroys that site's credibility to say such a thing.
It's easy to recollect historic winning moments in most of college football's top venues...
SANFORD STADIUM: Herschel's first TD Run (1980), Beating #2 Clemson at the last second (1984)
TIGER STADIUM: Billy Cannon's Halloween Run (1959)...The Earthquake Game (1888)... Handing Steve Spurrier and #1 Florida their first SEC road loss in four years (1997)... The de facto December SEC West Championship Game (2001)... Beating Top 5 Arkansas to cap off the unbelievable 2011 regular season
JORDAN-HARE: The first Iron Bowl and beating #2 Bama in Jordan-Hare (1989), the "Pass LSU Pass" game (1994), beating #1 Florida (2001), the Prayer at Jordan-Hare (2013), the Kick6 (2013)
It's hard to think of the most epic moment of victorious euphoria in Bryant-Denny history. Honestly I'm not sure what it would be. Any suggestions?

Bama rarely has epic wins during the regular season because they're the best program in college football. Expected to win every time they take the field.

I was fricking with you. Everyone knows BDS rarely hosted major games before 2000.
But I have issue with your claim that BDS was routinely 8 out of 14 from 1960 onward. The fact being that there wasn't 14 SEC teams for the majority of the time frame you provided.

While impressive, your all-time winning percentage against Top 25 teams inside Bryant-Denny is 52.5%... if you are losing almost as many big games at home as you are winning, then there are bound to be close games.
Besides, not every epic game has to be close. It certainly helps add value to a memorable moment, but a decisive beat-down of a solid opponent can be very historic.
The 2014 win over #1 Mississippi State was pretty good... but the fact it was Mississippi State and not a bigger name program sort of hurts it... along with the fact MSU lost 3 of their final 4 games.
The 2015 win over #4 LSU was about as dominant of a win as one will see over a Top 5 team. But again, LSU's season sort of went backwards the rest of the year.
Those are certainly very memorable moments. Unfortunately though, you can only go back to 2014 to find a gigantic win inside that stadium. Prior to that, there isn't much to look at.
