re: What OOC Schools are the Closest Match to SEC Schools?

I read a comparison of USC and Alabama. While I don't think it's a great comparison, it might be the closest anyone can come to the Tide

I would argue Oklahoma is a more apt comparison.

Nope.

Oklahoma was tooth and nail with Nebraska for a lot of their history. They compare to Ohio State/Michigan.

USC, when right, owns the Pac 8/10/12 regardless of competition. Alabama owns the SEC when right, in the same way.
When either is down, other teams can emerge, but it's always when they are in a down period.

LSU is a weird team to find a match for- you could say Michigan State or Wisconsin, but LSU is honestly a tier better overall than those guys. 3 national titles, another BCS appearance shot, and conference titles in every decade for about forever. LSU, Georgia, Auburn, Tennesee, Florida- historically not the elite conference team, but also historically better than other "good" conference teams.
Maybe Washington?
