As we told you yesterday, ESPN is ranking America’s FBS football programs from 1 to 119 based on a number of statistics dating back to 1936.
They call the series “Prestige Rankings.”
We showed you their list from 21 to 119… which included 6 SEC teams (Auburn at #21, Vandy at #119).
Now Arkansas’ program has made the cut at #19.
They’re surrounded in the latest results by:
16. UCLA
17. Washington
18. Georgia Tech
and 20. Texas A&M.
In other words, when it comes to all-time prestige, five SEC schools will rank in the Top 15.
