Posted Saturday August 16, 2008, About: Recruit picks Hokies over Kentucky
Generally speaking, purely from an academic standpoint, Georgia is tops on that list followed by Va. Tech, Wake and then Kentucky. And not really close with Georgia leading the others by a good bit. Depending on the focus of the list you may see Wake lead Va. Tech but on most lists they will not lead Georgia.

Don't get confused with the SEC football factories and their academic programs. At most SEC schools, the football team is only marginally connected to the university. Many don't go to class with other students, rarely do they eat with other students and almost all have individual tutors to make sure they maintain eligibility. Some athletes are good, if not great students but it is very disconnected from the football aspects of a university.
