re: SEC schools ranked by SAT scores

Auburn’s accounting school is not bad. Bama’s is better. In fact Ole Miss’s is better.
Not dogging Auburn with this statement.
And I will raise you all of those partners from Auburn, with the former CEO of PWC being a Bama grad.

I ask in earnest, how likely would Quintorris have gone to another school other than Alabama since he was from Foley?
We had seen all of those guys go elsewhere in the years leading up to Julio. I think we were very nervous he might head somewhere else. If I remember correctly, FSU seemed to be the competition.

Actually looks about right based on academic reputation.
I would have guessed Florida was #2 but everything is how I would have put it. Cole have done a good job climbing g these rankings lately.

Here is what Chat GPT gave me - and it’s solid:
?? Mount Rushmore of SEC Coaches (Any Sport)
The four:
1. Paul “Bear” Bryant (Alabama, football)
The original standard. Built Alabama into a national religion and defined what SEC dominance even looks like.
2. Nick Saban (Alabama, football)
The modern GOAT. Turned the SEC into the sport’s Death Star conference and forced everyone else to evolve or perish.
3. Pat Summitt (Tennessee, women’s basketball)
Absolute titan. Not just titles—she elevated women’s sports across the entire conference and beyond.
4. Adolph Rupp (Kentucky, men’s basketball)
College hoops royalty. Made Kentucky the basketball brand and set the blueprint for SEC hoops power.
?
??? Honorable Mentions (10)
In no particular order:
1. Steve Spurrier (Florida, football) – Changed SEC offense forever and enjoyed every second of it ??
2. Vince Dooley (Georgia, football) – Longevity, consistency, and a national title anchor.
3. Urban Meyer (Florida, football) – Short stay, massive impact; two titles speak loudly.
4. Dawn Staley (South Carolina, women’s basketball) – Modern dynasty-builder, still climbing.
5. Skip Bertman (LSU, baseball) – Turned LSU into Omaha’s landlord.
6. Tim Corbin (Vanderbilt, baseball) – Proved elite baseball belongs in Nashville too.
7. Gene Stallings (Alabama, football) – Overshadowed historically, but a national champ who mattered.
8. Kirby Smart (Georgia, football) – Already historic; trajectory screams “future Rushmore debate.”
9. Billy Donovan (Florida, men’s basketball) – Back-to-back titles in a football-first league.
10. Sarah Patterson (Alabama, gymnastics) – Eight national titles, four decades of dominance, and a sport-defining legacy.

They kind of remind me of the Early 2000s Oakland athletics and the Moneyball phenomenon. That was very interesting and they had some big moments but it’s not like the A’s became some juggernaut through the Moneyball phase. I see this happening with Indiana and they will certainly fall off in the upcoming years. They can’t catch lightning with a bottle with some of the roster adds and coming out of nowhere that they have had the last two years.

Indiana is weird. I find cignetti to be very unlikable.

The big concern for DeBoer is 2026 is going to have a lot of youth at positions that are critical on offense: QB and OL.
If Austin Mack starts, which is a very real possibility, I would not call that youth.

It was when Ty faked a handoff to a RB who wasn't there, and then just sat down for a five yard loss rather than throw the ball awa
Would have been a penalty for ineligible receiver down the field. He should have just ran it straight up the middle for no gain vs 5 yard loss.

Based on these games that you’ve listed, you might say that Bama is the one with the voodoo in Jordon Hare
