ACC = 0
B 12 = 1.5 (just 1 school)
B1G = 0
PAC = 6 (just 1 school)
SEC* = 18.5 (3 different schools, and Auburn + Arkansas + LSU making "Super Six")
OTR = 9 (pretty much all Utah, but before they joined the PAC) *Missouri had a Top 12 finish in 2010, but before they joined the SEC

Pretty impressive considering these schools in the SEC do not have gymnastics
Ole Miss
State
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas A&M (has a good club team, really needs to get a team with all the TX talent) Vanderbilt

its freaking womens gymnastics.

let's see, a little googling shows me that there are 52 schools that compete, 26 are schools in a power 5 conference(big money athletic departments) and 8 of those are SEC schools. It looks like about 15 of those 26 schools are actually competitive. So basically whoever wins the SEC wins the national championship. It's just not that impressive to me considering the best athletes are already in the south and there isn't lacrosse and water polo to pull from the already over saturated pool of athletic ladies in the south.

Have you ever actually been to a gymnastics game/competition/meet/match/battle royale? If so, is it true that TV adds 10 pounds of weight, or do their backsides look just as good in person?
