Big 6 in football, #2 in basketball, #1 in NCAA titles, #1 in SEC titles. Can't dispute #1.

Based on that list, it seems LSU would be tied with UGA. And I'd give the edge to LSU based on facility upgrades over that time frame and generally better facilities overall. Pretty sure LSU spent more money alone upgrading Tiger Stadium ($80 million) than UGA spent upgrading facilities in general.

And LSU is currently building a new tennis center, a new gymnastic practice facility, and a new nutrition center.

To be fair, you are last. But State has made huge gains the last 5 years while Ole Miss has pretty much stayed the same. Pretty much even with them the last 3 years.

I know these threads foster ok discussion, but ranks like this are stupid and should not be taken seriously.

It is like a best football stadium rank even though 97% of the posters on this site have not been to every stadium in the SEC.
