What I never understand about these rankings is there were multiple people from my high school(CHS-BR) that did not get into LSU who would go to BAMA in order to still be at a big SEC school. So I always assumed LSU was better but I guess I was mistaken.

Everyone has convenient stories like this.
I happen to know 8 people from high school that couldn't get into Bama so they settled for Harvard instead.

I know 4 people personally, that went to Alabama because they did not get into Tennessee.
In-state admission standards have really jumped at UT, since we've implemented the HOPE scholarship.
I'm not saying Tennessee is better than Alabama, or vice versa. But I am saying, US News and World Reports college rankings are bogus.

An urban myth, a cute regional cliche
