re: Academic rankings of SEC schools

It’s easy to get caught up talking about athletics but sometimes we need to reevaluate what is important. Those at top need to bind together to elevate those at bottom. Let’s stand together as sec brethren

Vanderbilt: 14
Florida: 30
Georgia: 47
Texas A&M: 66
Auburn: 97
Tennessee: 112
South Carolina: 118
Missouri: 124
Kentucky: 133
Alabama: 143
LSU: 153
Arkansas: 160
Ole Miss: 160
Mississippi State: 206

There’s a very good reason they don’t pack the stadiums and cover the graduations on national TV.

It’s because nobody really cares. If academic prowess is what you’re going to school for, then you’ll choose to go to another school outside the SEC to impress others with your diploma on your wall, outside of say Vanderbilt I suppose.

For most people it’s simply a glorified passport people use to travel about the country and demonstrate that they have the ability and intelligence to get through college. For others who choose to pursue postgraduate degrees, that’s much more significant. This is a sports board however. If there was a big interest in measuring intellectual penises, then there would be a board for that, and there simply isn’t enough interest for that.
