The SEC officially expanded by 2 schools this college football season. But neither newcomer Texas nor Oklahoma tops the list of miles traveled by SEC schools in 2024. 

That honor falls to LSU. Mike The Tiger’s team travels 6789.48 miles according to data gathered by bookies.com using Google Earth. Bookies.com tracked the road schedule of each SEC team this season, measuring from the midpoint of each stadium location. 

We factored in neutral-site games such as the annual Red River Showdown between Texas and Oklahoma in Dallas. And the World’s Largest Cocktail Party, which takes place before, during, and after the annual Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville.

Missouri is the other SEC team to top 6,000 miles due to a non-conference game against UMass-Amherst in the Bay State. The Minutemen are ranked 123^rd out of 133 Division 1-A teams in the ESPN Football Power Index.
