Tough to rank them with so many factors, but a very interesting idea.

Some combination of:

academics
athletics
football
men's basketball
tv markets (maybe)

So you rank the team with the highest tv ratings on ESPN the past 10 years 8th? Makes sense

Uhh..OM should be at the bottom. At least we've had baseball success over the years. We've also had better basketball over the years, just not in the last two seasons.

99 percent of SEC fans didn't even want A&M in our conference and now they are the 4th most important team. Get real!

TAMU is a quality school and got us into TX.

you're slowly crossing the line from just a "bad" poster into the rarefied air of horrible posters. Congrats

I wanted them. Actually, I would say the vast majority of the SEC wanted aTm. Adding the Texas tv market was absolutely huge. We won't see the benefit for several years, but it is there.

A&M doesn't bring much to the table that Baylor or Texas Tech wouldn't bring. How often did you pay attention to Aggie before they joined the SEC? I didn't pay attention to them at all

GTFO. Are you serious right now? You really think MSU baseball has even a slight share of the conversation?

Lets rank states in terms of overall importance to the union. Working our way up.

I'll start:

#50: Alabama

Big Six in football

flagship of the fourth (and should be passing NY soon) most populated state

You could certainly make the case.

You're right. I'm 10 times the poster you've ever even thought about being.

Cool. Wouldn't be far off. Alabama matters very little in the real world. A lot in the CFB world. Which is why we gloat about it so much.
