No, they're not.

EBR Parish has about 450,000 people in it. Livingston Parish and Ascension Parish have about another 250,000 together, and at least half of those people drive into Baton Rouge daily.
That's why both Livingston and Ascension Parish are included in the Baton Rouge MSA.

Yeah, but the Baton Rouge MSA includes places as far away as Pierre Part.
Pierre Part is not in, or near, Baton Rouge.

MSAs stick to county (parrish) lines. If a majority of the people in a county are tied economically to the main city or cities of the MSA, the whole county is included.

Houston is just as much of an SEC city as Atlanta, that's the point. I agree it opens the door to many others to consider as well.

Shouldn't Bryan be included with College Station since the cities actually intertwine?

are they different economically, culturally, and socially? For instance, Auburn also has Opelika, however I would definitely not include their stats on this list as it doesnt really have much to do with the University

I included Atlanta because of OP's assertion that Nashville is larger than Atlanta, which is not even close when you account for metro area.
We get it that Houston is large

and Atlanta was included because of its involvement with the SEC CG. What does Houston do for the SEC

-Atlanta, the site of the SEC championship game, boasts of an estimated population of 456,002. I bet some of you didn’t figure it was so much smaller than Nashville.
City proper, yes.
Fulton County population (most of ATL city limits) = 996,319
DeKalb County population (some of ATL city limits) = 713,340
Davidson County population = 668,347
Atlanta metropolitan area = 5,522,942
Nashville metropolitan area = 1,757,912
Atlanta is a considered an "alpha -" or "World City." Nashville is merely sufficiency.
Comparing these two is ridiculous.

Could the football season go ahead and start? We are down to population smack.

Not really sure why you're singling out Tuscaloosa's metro population numbers when they're figured just like all the others are. Tuscaloosa County alone account for 202,212 of the 237,000 total and most of those people are clustered within a 10 to 15 mile radius of downtown Tuscaloosa. In fact, if Tuscaloosa annexed contiguous districts the way Athens, GA does for example then Tuscaloosa's city population would be over 120,000. Northport (population 25,000) is completely contiguous to Tuscaloosa. In fact in many cases the two cities intertwine each other.
Went ahead and added Birmingham seeing as it's the home of conference's headquarters
Birmingham - 1,143,772

Yeah, any population figure that has Atlanta being smaller than Nashville should be disregarded entirely because that's like 40mph over absurd.
I assume they're doing it based on where arbitrary city limits lines are drawn, and ATL proper must be really damn small (i.e. like district of columbia small). But such a an approach is obviously meaningless.
The number for Knoxville is also way too low. Knoxville is over 400K by any metric that makes sense.

10 years ago, Oxford only had about 9,000 permanent residents. It's grown like crazy since and is still growing. It's pretty close to the Memphis MSA.
