I have no arguments with this

6. Tuscaloosa, AL
7. Auburn, AL
These should be switched, IMO.

this will be my only complaint- why? do people attempt to drive their double wides and have trouble squeezing between traffic? that just makes no sense to me at all, why it's extremely difficult to get there? there are no gates to break down or walls to climb over. if you have a car, you can easily get your arse to fayetteville.

Meh, we'll accept the SEC expert's placing Fayetteville 12th. I mean, they're the experts.
It's like when Barnhart says LSU is vastly down and expects a fair to spare 2015. No chance to win the West.
Can't argue.

Flip Tuscaloosa and Auburn then move Baton Rouge behind them and I mostly agree
Same. Though I think Athens should be #1. Baton Rouge should be behind Auburn and Alabama, but I don't really care which between Auburn and Tuscaloosa is ahead. To me you really need separate categories. Auburn and Oxford go on one side, Knoxville and Nashville and Baton Rouge on another.
It gets harder with Athens and Tuscaloosa, because Athens is good sized but feels quaint at times, while Tuscaloosa isn't a metropolis, but isn't Athens either.

Extremely difficult? Like, located on the interstate highway system, and with an airport busier than the airports in Jackson, MS, BR, and also 90 minutes from an International Airport?

Oh, well. I'm sure it's just part of the off-season phenomenon.

I vote Baton Rouge last because of the shitty traffic I sat in while passing through.

To do what? Hang out at the one decent bar or go to a trailer park party?

I think Bryan/College Station is ranked appropriately. Nashville is not a college town. Columbia, SC is a very cool city and is way underrated in this list. I really have no idea how Baton Rouge is that high. Columbia is FAR superior to Baton Rouge.

It's a really long way from most of the major conference schools (Alabama, Auburn, UGA, UF, UT), so yeah. Factor in that (no offense) Arkansas isn't typically one of the most important games for those schools, so it seems weird to book an expensive flight to Fayetteville when we can take a relatively short drive to most of our major conference opponents.

The campus of Alabama is gorgeous, but the city of Tuscaloosa itself is awful compared to the city of Auburn.

I don't go to games in Baton Rouge, either. But I wouldn't describe it as "extremely difficult" to travel there. A better description is "its a long drive from where I am right now as I'm writing this".
