July 2026 Comprehensive SEC School Tier List
S+: Vandy (SAAR DON'T REPORT SAARRR IYKYK)
S: UT Austin (plenty of placements at GS, Citi, JPM. McCombs BHP/CIF pipeline is real)
A: Texas A&M (Houston O&G pipelines), Florida (heavy on the regionals e.g. atl, charlotte, tampa, etc)
B: Georgia / South Carolina / Bama: Regional access (Atlanta/Charlotte for UGA), functional IB clubs, occasional BB looks. Semi-target-adjacent but individual-driven. Bama's IB society is trending upwards.
C: LSU / Tennessee / Auburn: LSU TOTS generates some alumni connectivity, strong gpa and heavy networking might be able to break through, but nothing systematic.
D: Ole Miss / Missouri / Kentucky / Arkansas / Mississipi State / Oklahoma (YEE HAW)
