re: Offseason thread: what non-SEC football program most resembles each SEC program?

I don't like the Florida and LSU comparisons. Florida has a much longer history of success than Oregon, while LSU doesn't have near the history of Michigan and hasn't fallen nearly as far.

I'd probably go Florida - Michigan, two blue blood programs with unlimited resources who have been embarrassed in recent years by bad hires since Carr/Meyer left.

LSU is unique, possibly Ohio State based on being the only major player in a fertile recruiting ground, sustained success, and the Les Miles era is very similar to the Jim Tressell era.
