Knoxville, Tn. (Tennessee Volunteers)
Average Rank – 7
No. First Place Votes – 2
No. Last Place Votes – None
Clearly there was some disagreement on where Knoxville should be ranked, as two voters had it as high as one, and another placed it at 13. A very pleasant city to the eye, with the river right next to the stadium (the Vol Navy being a highlight of game weekend), Knoxville really does have a lot to offer as more than just a college hangout.
“Located right on the Tennessee River, it was by far the most beautiful campus I visited during all of my many SEC road trips. Some of the nicest opposing fans you will meet, and Calhoun’s is always a great spot to tailgate while over looking the river before the game, with the vast selection of bars and restaurants on The Strand just off campus being a nice spot to celebrate a win afterwards.”
