In the spirit of fairness and sportsmanship, who wants to get a GoFundMe started to build a sports complex to host all SEC championships?
According to this calculator the geographical center of the SEC is the booming metropolis of Nauvoo, AL.
Let's learn a bit more about Nauvoo...
Honorable mention: the calculator also calculates a "personal center" based on the amount of years in a location. If we consider the longevity of each team in the conference, the runner-up is Warrior, AL.

Nauvoo, Alabama is one of those small towns that no one outside people in that particular county has any idea where it is located.

It is 850 miles (12 hours) from El Paso, Tx to Orange, Tx.
From Orange to Jacksonville, FL, it is 760 miles (11 hours).
So the Geographic center is somewhere in NE Texas.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconPimp.gif)
