Until last night, who is the SEC football version of the Cubs?

I would say UGA unfortunately, and it's not looking too promising in the future either.

Ole miss

Georgia

As a Gamecock fan, I envy Cubs fans

Of course you would, even though you couldn't be more wrong.

Ole Miss. No SEC titles since 1963. Have gone through periods of being absolutely terrible. UGA at least won a NC in 1980. They also have not really gone through periods of being dreadful like Ole Miss has.

An argument could also be made for Texas A&M, as it's been since the 30s since their last NC.

It is impossible to make comparison. Cubs play in a real sports league. Therefore there could be no version of the Cubs in the SEC. Good try though.

It has to be Vanderbilt.

Ole Miss is too hated to be lovable losers. USCe is more like the Boston Red Sox, you know they will get there sooner or later. Georgia spent the last decade being one of the best teams in college football. Its been a while for Arkansas on the football stage but its hard to apply the lovable loser tag to a school that averages two national titles a year in other sports. No one cares about poor Moo State. And Kentucky is loathed during basketball season.

Vanderbilt fits the role, they have success in other sports but not often enough to make them obnoxious, their fans are well regarded, and most everyone would be thrilled to see Vanderbilt win a national title in football.
