You wish you were Fayetteville: A definitive and very scientific ranking of SEC cities

Your favorite SEC town can’t hold a candle to Arkansas’. Let’s rank them, anyway.

Knoxville and Fayetteville, have a bow.

The home of the University of Tennessee and the University of Arkansas were both ranked as one of the “Best Places to Live” by U.S. News and World Report on Tuesday.

Fayetteville, Arkansas, was No. 10 and topped the list when it came to the 14 SEC cities. For the record, the list appears to use general metro areas’ statistics overall, but interestingly labels only one particular town on the official list.

Knoxville was the only other SEC town on the list. It checked in at No. 21, a solid ranking.

But those such lists take into account living conditions. Who among us are moving to another SEC city soon? Probably none of us. So took up a more reasonable exercise.

Ranking SEC cities for a visit. These rankings are official*, objective* and scientific*. Take a look below.

And for the second time today: sorry, Florida.
