    Former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow understands how hard playing on the road in the SEC can be. The conference boasts harsh atmospheres like Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tennessee's Neyland Stadium and LSU's Death Valley.

    The SEC is home to six of the top 10 biggest stadiums in college football for 2024. Here is where those teams' stadiums rank in the top 10:

    • No. 9: Sanford Stadium (92,746) - UGA
    • No. 8: Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (100,119) - Texas
    • No. 7: Bryant-Denny Stadium (101,821) - Alabama
    • No. 6: Neyland Stadium (101,915) - Tennessee
    • No. 5: Tiger Stadium (102,231) - LSU
    • No. 4: Kyle Field (102,733) - TAMU

    The crew on the SEC Network's college football pregame show, "SEC Nation," discussed some of the matchups taking place in the SEC during Week 7, and Tebow had something to say about one of the conference's environments.

    He called LSU's Tiger Stadium, or "Death Valley," a "forgotten" atmosphere in college football.

    "...Let's also not forget, going to Death Valley at night," Tebow said. "It's still might be the hardest place in the country to play. I just think sometimes that gets forgotten about when you talk about rivalry games. Going there at night, it is a different atmosphere."

    Some massive games took place at Tiger Stadium in recent years, with LSU taking down the No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels and No. 6 Alabama in consecutive games during the 2022 season.

    No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 13 LSU meet at Tiger Stadium at night in Week 7 as the Tigers lead the all-time series 65-42-4. Last season, Ole Miss won a 55-49 shootout with LSU Heisman winner Jayden Daniels in Oxford.

    Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN+.
