SEC schools in order of average proximity

When Mizzou made the SEC move, travel distance was a common point brought up. I kept hearing how far we'd have to travel, but I was curious how much the other schools have to travel in comparison, so I put together this list.

Couple of interesting things were that Florida, a charter member, has the furthest average travel distance besides A&M, who is a whopping 114 miles further away than Florida on average. Also, it looks like before Mizzou and A&M were added that Auburn would've been the #1 on this list. Now it's Bama. Conspiracy?
