Not individual school's play by play guys, I'm talking about the conference as a whole. (David Kellum > Larry Munson. DWI.)

Keith Jackson is a true legend of college football, but he screams Big Ten and Pac 10 more than SEC, imo. I grew up in the 90s and 2000s so Ron Franklin (Ole Miss grad) immediately comes to mind, as does Bob Kelsing back in the JP days. The Three Daves are definitely in the running. Uncle Verne has developed into the voice of the dominant part of the conference's history. Unfortunately one could argue Finebaum is the modern day voice of the industry. I really think Joe Tessitore could become that guy in ten years.

Anyone who says Tim Brando will be immediately disqualified.

Gotta be munson.

If you mean national TV broadcasters that have done SEC games, I'll throw a wildcard sean mcdonough out there. I was watching some old games when he was calling SEC games and man that guy just has an awesome voice.

Ron Franklin was SEC football in the early 2000's. Loved hearing him call those 7:45 ESPN games.

Uncle Verne and Ron Franklin for me. Brad Nessler approaching that level.

Ron Franklin and those primetime ESPN games put the SEC on the map. You felt like you were there watching those games on TV and you could not say the same thing about those 11 and 2:30 games.
I think Nessler has been good as well. And that's coming from a LSU fan whose team was pretty much hit or miss back in the 90's.

Joe Dean, Sr with his "string music".

Larry Munson was great. "The Dogs are an inch short. No! Make that one-half inch."

Jack Crystal: "They have it on the MSU 35. They being Alabama. It being the football."

The top 4 announcers all time are:

1.) Keith Jackson
2.) Brent Mussberger(In his prime)/Nessler
4.) Franklin

Larry Munson was like Uecker or Scully, you listen to him over your guy and are glad you made that choice.
