Did you bother putting any thought whatsoever in your rankings? Looks like you threw up a random list.

Just a general question to the rant, what % of topics started by expansion team fans have to do with how great we are and how we are better in some way or another than the rest of the conference? As opposed to the normal rant bragging about winning championships.

Not surprising. Engineering/mathematics is what makes money. That is why the SEC list looks like it does

Any ranking of SEC "schools" that doesn't come out with Vandy on top is garbage. Academics are the reason the universities exist, and Vanderbilt is by far the best academic school in the conference. They also have the highest salaries.

If you want to throw football into the mix it just depends on how you weight things, but IMO Georgia and Florida are the two most well rounded for academics, success in sports, and college town experience. A&M would fairly similar.

I've seen enough. I'm now cheering for Bama in future match ups with A&m. I dislike the Aggies and their second-fiddle cultists more than Bama fans officially. I've never seen a group of fans with a bigger inferiority complex.

And Auburn.

I think if you are talking most well rounded SEC universities - academics, campus, athletics, in that order, the Florida, UGA, and AU are at the top.

Vandy and Atm as well though Vandy doesn't have much of a football program and I'm not partial to AtMs campus.

Same site that the graph came from, just up-to-date.

Every school except Arkansas improved; Alabama improved the most.

The flaw is, as always, cost of living. I agree I think an AU degree is a very good one to get - but how much of those numbers are because an AU grad is more likely to live in, say, the Atlanta area while an MSU grad may work in Jackson?

Vandy is the clear winner, that's a given. That said, if most of A&M's grads end up working in Dallas, then it stands to reason that they make more.

Case in point. Plugging in Alabama's average salary ($76,600) into the following site for Birmingham:

LINK

You will find that, in Atlanta, the same standard of living would run:
$94,941

That's a pretty massive difference for two places less than 3 hours apart from each other.

FYI - that site is great for figuring out if a job in a new place is worth considering.

I wouldn't disagree with that. But I would put LSU's athletics and our beautiful campus up against any of them.
And academics, despite the possible State budget cuts (to only 11% of LSU's total budget), remains strong as LSU is one of the top research universities in the world and a Tier I institute.

LSU is also on a Top 30 quality thrust (the
ForeverLSU Campaign) and has several top nationally ranked programs:
Petroleum Engineering, AgriBusiness, Hurricane Engineering, Coastal Engineering Studies, Internal Auditing, MBA Program, Geophysics, Landscape Architecture, Music & Dramatic Arts, Mass Communications, etc.
LSU also has three of the top specialty institutions in their fields in America in:
LSU Press
Cox Academic Center for Student Athletes
Pennington Biomedical Research Institute

Regarding campuses...

Does any fan *NOT* consider their own school's campus gorgeous?
