Here's my best guess at the SEC. The main criteria I used were:
-- Racial demographics of the student body
-- How the university's county voted in 2008 and 2012 (low impact on schools like Vanderbilt and South Carolina)
-- How the under-30s in the state voted in 2008 and 2012 (if available)
-- Where schools appeared on general lists of "Most conservative schools" I found by Googling
-- Recent news events which affect perception
-- General gut feelings, perceptions, and stereotypes.
Thoughts? Did I mispeg anyone? Vanderbilt was almost completely a guess, since none of the above factors really apply much.
ETA: I probably put Kentucky too far to the left.
I would put Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, LSU and Arkansas farther to the left. If you go into DRA you can see that most of these campuses are in the high 50's/low 60's in their support for Obama. Georgia should be right next to Florida.
