Odd you would point something like that out seeing UT's acceptance rate as of 2016 was over 76% and Auburn, everyone in Georgia and Alabama's fallback plan is 77%. UGA's is 53%, Bama's is 54%, fact is UT is near the top for easiest schools to get accepted to in the SEC. Only places Easier are Ole Miss, LSU and Auburn, so as a UT fan it's not wise to crack on very many school's admittance requirements.
this has a lot more to do with number of applicants than standards. Average student enrollee is remarkably similar between the two. UGA requires SAT but UT doesn't. but UGA doesn't require ACT while UT does.
UGA GPA 3.90 ACT 26 SAT 1320
UT GPA 3.89 ACT 27 UT 1220
at least on prepscholar both schools standards and rankings are remarkably similar. and the differences in score are pretty close considering they aren't required to get in.
