One of the few good things to come out of everyone self-isolating and no sports taking place is that now people have a lot more free time to debate about numerous aspects of the sporting world.
Like, for example, who would win NBA MVP if the season ended right now? And who would win in a street fight between The Muppets and Sesame Street? You know, the important stuff.
Another one of those sports debates that occurred recently involved the logos of the 14 member institutions of the Southeastern Conference.
The market researchers over at FanJuicer.com polled over 3,000 fans using the College Football Subreddit to find out which SEC team’s logo is the best and which logo fans like the least.
The results of the poll were somewhat surprising with the Auburn Tigers taking the top spot by just one point over the Florida Gators.

What’s surprising about these results, at least to me, is that Auburn’s logo is just a block U and A, yet the Kentucky Wildcats’ logo isn’t that dissimilar and it came in 12th out of 14.
And really, Alabama’s logo came in fourth? A crimson letter A is a better logo than, well, just about any other SEC logo?

Okay, fine, but what about the other Power Five conferences? Which logos in the Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, and Pac 12 do fans like the most? You make the call.
