Do you have a link to this? I'm not questioning your info. I would just like to see it because I suspect that this the biggest issue for teams, but haven't seen it explicitly stated by the SEC.

Here is the current guidelines

Don't see anything about the roster minimums on that document, but here is an article talking about it.

To play a football game, the SEC has established minimum thresholds of at least 53 scholarship players available to participate and the following minimum number of position scholarship players available to begin a game: seven (7) offensive linemen (which includes one center), one (1) quarterback and four (4) defensive linemen. The impacted institution has the option to play the game with fewer than the 53 scholarship players or fewer than the minimum number of position players listed above if it elects to do so. Otherwise, upon approval by the Commissioner, the game would be rescheduled or declared a no contest.

So it looks like you are still allowed to play if you don't have those minimums in the position groups, but I think it would be ridiculous for people to expect a team to go out and play with, in this case, the entire OL in quarantine. As I said earlier, that would pose a pretty big player safety issue to have no offensive lineman able to play. You can work around other position groups having guys out without risking players getting hurt playing out of position.
