Pro Style > Spread
And it's not even fricking close.
Look at the most consistent LONG TERM teams.
Teams like UGA, Texas and LSU (although a little too pass happy) are the most consistent teams in CFB. Why? Because they run a more pro-style offense.
Teams like Florida, Auburn and Oregon run the spread successfully for a few years until the defense figures it out and dominates them. Why do you think Urban retired? Health reasons?
The spread is garbage if you want to consistently be successful. If you want to jump from team to team and be smoke and mirrors, it could work as well. As soon as the Pac-12 teams figure that shite out that Oregon does, it will be a wrap. As for OSU? shite... Urban will be retiring again in no time.

That's exactly what my dad told me last night. No long-term dominant team did it with a spread. Spread teams only last as long as their special QB or until the new wears off.

You only have so many scholarships and spread teams stack the offensive side with the best ones. Doesn't matter if it's Oregon, Okie State, TTU, Baylor, Houston or TAMU, it just works out that way.
It was said before in the thread, less talented teams use the spread to be competitive with more talented teams. But generally when a strong pro-style teams engages for sustained drives that advantage evaporates in the second half with a worn out inferior defense.
TAMU caught Alabama at a good time. They were worn out physically and emotionally from the game with LSU and didn't play well. Not to take anything away from A&M, those wins of Arky, Ole Miss, Miss. St., and Auburn were nice but all were flawed teams.
Sumlin will recruit well but the cupboard he inherited was not exactly bare. TAMU will continue to improve but defensive coordinators will also. We'll see.
