Same deal as the Big 12. Focusing less on 2020 and more about the strength of each job.
Here's my take:
1. Alabama - That "A" means a lot to football players. It represents dominance and the college football dynasty of their lifetime. They have everything you could possibly want to build your program up. #1 job in the SEC and the country.
2. LSU - They don't have quite the same recent track record as Alabama but they have everything you need here as well. I also like that LSU has the ability to recruit east Texas.
3. Georgia - Georgia has made it's self a national title contender under Kirby. They've made the upgrades to the program that are necessary for them to compete at a national level. They are also in a great spot for recruiting. GA is growing quickly. They are nearby to Florida and the Carolinas.
4. Florida - Very close to GA and I imagine this will upset some Gator fans. I went back and forth but Florida's facilities have lagged behind (despite the recent upgrades). If they commit more to winning in the future, they could easily surpass Georgia and LSU. They have better local recruiting but they have stiffer in-state competition. It's still an elite job. If you get the rights guys there, they will win championships.
5. Auburn - They would perhaps be higher if they didn't have to play Alabama, LSU and Georgia every year. They have everything you could want they just have a historic dynasty in their own state and play in the toughest division in college football.
6. Texas A&M - Similar to Auburn except they don't have the same recent success. They have a ton of money and top notch facilities and being in Texas, you would think recruiting would be no problem. However, competition in Texas for recruits it cut throat.
7. Tennessee - Lots of fan support and dedication from the administration. The Vols have fallen on hard times for the last decade but you have everything you need here to win. Recruiting won't be a problem given their proximity to the gulf states, north Georgia, Nashville, etc.
8. South Carolina - They won't go away. Despite not having a whole lot of historical success, their fanbase and facilities are there. They are in a good location for recruiting. If you find the right coach, you can win here as well.
9 Kentucky - Wildcats have surprisingly good fan support for a program without a lot of historical success. Their recruiting is no longer in the basement of the SEC, they've climbed the ladder recently.
10. Ole Miss - It's a good job. Just tough in comparison to their divisional opponents. It makes consistent winning difficult.
11. Mississippi State - It's honestly very close to the Ole Miss job. One could even make the argument to switch these. But like I said, it's close.
12. Arkansas - Arkansas has very good facilities but the in-state talent is usually pretty weak. Arkansas is fighting an up hill battle, especially in the SEC West.
13. Missouri - It's not a terrible job, it just seems a little out of place. They used to recruit Texas when they were in the Big 12 but the move to the SEC made that harder for them to do.
14. Vanderbilt - Undoubtedly the toughest job in the SEC. They simply don't have the support or resources that other schools in the SEC have.
