How is the USA Today Network SEC All-Sports Award figured?
Points are awarded based on the number of competing teams in a sport (e.g. – 16 teams compete in SEC baseball, giving the winner 16 points, second gets 15, etc. Four teams compete in equestrian, awarding four points to the winner). A program's points total is divided by the total number of teams competing in the sports the school fields and that quotient ranks the teams in the final USA Today Network SEC All-Sports standings. The sports of cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field are combined. A program's outdoor track finish makes up half, while the remaining two quarters are based on the cross country and indoor finishes.USA Today Network Southeastern Conference All-Sports formula
