Best SEC Jobs

What's your list of best SEC coaching jobs?
ETA: Reasoning behind ranking
Mine would be:
1. UF - Flagship university in arguably the most football talented state in the country. Also has the financial backing.
2. Bama - Traditionally a top 3 program in the country (Notre Dame/Bama/Texas). Incredibly loyal fanbase that's not afraid to spend money.
3a. LSU - Only major institution in a state that's probably the 5th most talented football state in the country (Florida, Texas, California and Georgia). Fanbase is rabidly loyal. Also has a pipeline into Houston and Florida.
3b. UGA - Great University/Program all around. I gave LSU the slight edge because UGA has to compete with AU, GT, Bama, UF and Clemson in Georgia. Still a great University, just not quite on the elite level yet.
5. Texas A&M - A&M is above Tennessee IMO because of 2 reason: Money and Location. While Tennessee has a richer history A&M has a stronger financial backing and they're in the heart of Texas.
6a. Tennessee - When they were at their peak in the late 90's they were IT. Butch has them on the cusp (took 3 top 10 teams to the wire) and has locked down their borders and started to recruit like the Tennessee of old (Khalil Mackenzie from CA and Preston Williams from GA)
6b. Auburn - Great program, great history. But always the little brother in their state.
8. Ole Miss - Freeze has brought something to the grove that hasn't been there since '03. Hope. Ole Miss has potential but doesn't have the resources, history or location of a LSU, Bama or Florida.
9. Arkansas - Beautiful location but poor recruiting grounds. Also hard to convince top flight recruits to come up there. Florida, Texas and Louisiana kids aren't used to North Arkansas winters.
10. South Carolina - Poor history, decent recruiting grounds.
11. Mississippi State - Going to be hard to ever get top flight talent for Starkvegas.
12. Missouri - Does a very good job of keeping kids home, but I don't think any half arse coach would want to go to Mizzou anytime soon. The don't have the resources or financial backing of an SEC power and they're in the midwest. Not to mention is a racial war battle ground.
13. Kentucky - Basketball.
14. Vanderbilt - Academics/Baseball.

Arkansas is a better job than Ole Miss

1,2 AND 3 could all be number 1. Facilities, recruiting and money all about the same. Id give the edge to Florida because the east is an easier environment.

How so?
We have more money, better and newer facilities, better local recruiting talent, less SEC competition for our local talent, we pay coaches more, and we expect less.
The only thing Tennessee has over A&M are dusty championships and the fact the SEC East sucks.

Lets see... Arkansas' last two head coaching hires, one was a proven high successful college HC and a current NFL HC. The other was a proven, highly successful college HC at a P5 school that just won the Big 10. Compare that to Ole Miss and AU hiring Arkansas State's coach, and Tennessee getting a mid major coach.

Oh and Auburn has won a National Title so you're not in their category.
While Burt has Arkansas finish strong again, he also found a way to lose to Texas Tech and Toledo with a team that beat Ole Miss and LSU.

that's just not true. No statistics back you up.

Nationally, 1-12 on that list are all pretty good college football jobs.

Yeah, instead of looking at who these schools have hired lately lets look at what rivals says about a handful of their recruits.

he even used a recruit who hasn't even committed yet 
Posted on 11/19/15 at 11:44 am to Solo Cam
Uhh, Alabama is definitely #1

This.

outside of 1960 those aren't legit.
So Arkansas and Ole Miss have the same amount of national championships.
