Why The SEC Is The Baddest-Ass League, Part 44

   Your beloved conference not only led the land of red and blue states in football attendance last season for the 10th straight year, it dominated the Top 10 list of individual schools for most patrons.
   Would you believe Nos. 4 through 9 are SEC-only?
   The NCAA ranks by total turnstile count, not average per game, so Auburn jumped up to No. 5 because of eight home games. The others had seven.
   We list the NCAA order, with average attendance in parentheses:
  No. 4 Tennessee (103,918)
  No. 5 Auburn (84,689)
  No. 6  Georgia (92,706)
  No. 7 LSU (92,619)
  No. 8 Alabama (92,138)
  No. 9 Florida (90,388)
   What's the toughest ticket in the league? Do you have trouble securing a ducat for your team?
