From early 70s to mid 80s it was always Texas, tOSU, and Michigan rotating around for largest. I think about mid 80s A&M joined in the rotation.

True. And OU blew them out of the cotton bowl in 2003

I imagine it's gotta be Georgia right? maybe Kentucky? Georgia's typically considered among the very best public universities in the South basically at the top alongside Texas

Acceptance rates are only part of the equation. What are the average gpa's and test scores of those accepted?

There’s the solution to the transfer portal problem. Make the jocks meet the same average conference academic requirements as the regular students in order to transfer.

All the kids I know have earned their service cords and do lots of other things
But like I said not one that’s wanted in hasn’t gotten in

it's actually top 5% but the OP is a moron so it's not worth discussing.

Op, getting in is not the issue. The big issue is working hard, mastering the subject and getting a degree.
Some of the so called "elite" schools are not nearly as elite as they are claimed to be. For instance i have a vandy graduate relative that worries because they are barely able to do their job at work.

There was a time when there wasn’t much of a difference between Auburn and Alabama. But about 20 years ago Bama went with the strategy of becoming a diploma mill for northerners too dumb to get into the bigger state schools up there, and Auburn went with Southern culture and quality over quantity and it’s led to where we are now.
I hear everyday about friends’ kids wishing they could go to Auburn but having to settle for Alabama.

There is some truth to that, but you could also say that about GT. Not that hard for reasonably bright in-state applicants, but pretty hard for out-of-state applicants. Not defending the sips or criticizing GT. State schools should serve their home states first.

You did not say in the SEC
So I would guess Harvard, Yale, MIT, or Stanford in the USA.

The Texas school I wanted to attend was Southwest Texas State now Texas State University after driving around one spring afternoon. A girl I met that day sent me a catalog but I was already in a program at OU.

State public schools in states that allow for high selectivity should be heavily weighted towards in state students, that’s who they’re intended to be educating not Chinese foreign exchange students and kids from the NE who didn’t get into the Ivys.

Georgia Tech is a Public Ivy. Its admission rate is low & wealthy families from China send their kids to GT — they even have probably 50k students exclusively online, and the current trend is to be less selective. AAU mother frickers
