You have obviously never been to Mt. Sunflower . The way it towers above the surrounding countryside lush with temperate rainforest.
Or seen the grain elevators towering like skyscrapers of the plains.
Or seen the majestic dust storms, the dust devils and brown short grass prairie.
No, you haven’t seen Kansas.

"The best part of Texas I ever saw was visiting the Gulf Coast, the rest of it not so much."
Central Texas Hill Country (San Antonio to Austin, West of I-35), From Bandera/Pipe Creek/Boerne/Fredericksburg/New Braunfels up to the West side of Austin are beautiful. Won't even bother to mention the BBQ and Tex Mex.
Big Bend and Davis mountains are gorgeous and largely unspoiled.
If you think only the coast is good here, you haven't seen nearly as much of it as you think, or you judgement meter is rather out of touch. I'll let you and others decide which of those possibilities is true.

Huh? SC has beautiful mountains.
Table Rock State Park is phenomenal.

Florida is easily #1, especially when you include the territory stolen from us by the tyrant James Madison

Its hard for me to enjoy a region when its uncomfortable to be outside for the majority of the year

You missed:
Arkansas
Kentucky
Texas
Mississippi
Missouri
Not sure you can have only a top five of sec states.

No state with the city of Memphis can be anywhere close to the best. Nashville to the east is nice though. Everything west of Nashville is ghetto trash

The stretch from east of Memphis...through West Memphis and into Arkansas to Little Rock might be the worst 200 mile stretch in America...although from Little Rock down to Pine Bluff into western Mississippi is close.

I stopped reading when I saw Louisiana in top 5. I've been to all SEC states and, as far as beauty, Arkansas wins hands down.

I’m not the idiot bragging about it.
The original point of saying the SEC country is the “most beautiful” is stupidity.

Ranking the bottom tier is kind of a crapshoot. Could probably rank it ahead of Louisiana but I’ve never visited any natural attractions in either state. My impression of both is a bit biased in a negative way because I-20 and I-55 through those states are dismal drives. Just endless pines, nothingness and dumpy towns.

Ever been to Montgomery and surrounding areas of Alabama?

Basically, the best parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma are the regions that border Missouri. That should tell you all you need to know about how beautiful Missouri is.

Not wrong, that stretch of land sucks. I don’t know if any Arkansan could argue the Delta isn’t ugly.
Worst for me is I-27 in West Texas. Lubbock is terrible

Do you people know how to make a remotely relevant argument?

I guess you don't like the beach with Florida not making the list as land all its own.

Every SEC state has some incredible scenery, depending on where you go. I've spent time in all of them and my nod would be Tennessee with Georgia a close 2nd.

This is correct. For Alabama, I love that I could wake up in a cabin in the Appalachian foothills and then have lunch on the gulf coast with relative ease. You’re going to pass through some terrible places in between. West Tennessee vs East Tennessee is similar. East Tennessee is beautiful but the west is just not it. Georgia is similar to Alabama. Blue ridge and Savannah are very picturesque but that middle area ain’t it. Arkansas is the same way, NW vs some place like DeQueen. every state has its good and bad.
