College Rankings

Forget the SEC East and the SEC West. Instead, think SEC Party and SEC Non-Party, at least as measured by the Princeton's Top Party Schools.

We all love rankings. And university administrators absolutely love hate the "top party school" rankings. My own university does okay in these, though of late we're slipping. See below, a list of SEC schools from 2012-2015.

Still to be done ... a longer analysis of whether there's a correlation between being ranked as a party school and the success of your football team. Just eyeballing the list above, I'd say it's a fairly lousy correlation and maybe even a negative correlation.
