My mother's a graduate of Jacksonville State so always a soft spot for those Gamecocks! And, they've got a helluva football program so I do not disagree with putting them in the middle of the Alabama teams. I think Auburn's overrated, though...

Very cool about your mom and JSU, and agree on Auburn, lol. Still, until they and Troy play I have to give them the benefit of the doubt

Why do you perceive the Green Wave to be the 2nd ranked Louisiana school? They must have a brand recognition in the state and field competitive teams I'm not aware of. I'd move Grambling Tigers up many spots due to the championships they've won and the fact that more than 200 of their players have gone on to the professional football level which is amazing for a small school like that...

I give Tulane the nod as #2 because of their name recognition, academic ranking, size of their endowment, and conference affiliation.

based solely on your criteria for Tulane, Louisiana should be ahead of La tech.
