Hypothetical: how would current SEC teams fare this year v. OU and TX?

Let's create 3 categories:
1. Would beat both OU and TX
2. Would beat either OU or TX
3. Would lose to both OU and TX
For simplicity, let's assume that the SEC school would get one game at home, one game on the road.
My groups are this:
Would beat both OU and TX:
Alabama
Georgia
Florida
Arkansas
Would beat either or:
Auburn
Kentucky
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
aTm
Would lose both:
LSU
Missouri
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vanderbilt

I might put Ole Miss in the would beat both category.

Oklahoma has a 5 point win against Tulane, an 8 point win against Nebraska, a 3 point win against WVU, and a 6 point win against Kansas State. Texas has a 19 point loss to Arkansas, and a 5 point win against TCU. I think the only two SEC teams you can really 100% mark down a loss to both are Vandy and Missouri. That Oklahoma has looked so bad on offense is honestly shocking

With our inconsistent play we could lose to a lot of those teams but would most likely beat all except Alabama and Georgia. Ou would be favored in all but those two games. Texas sucks and would loose to Vanderbilt.

Florida
You guys got a scare vs. Florida a few weeks ago, and this feels like a back-handed acknowledgement on your part. OU beat that Florida team 55-20 with the Bucs' 2nd round draft pick at QB for the Gators.
Arkansas.. yeah I don't know about that. Can't disagree with the rest.

Oklahoma is giving me huge fraud vibes. They cant run the ball and Rattler is the worst QB they've had under Riley. Their defense "seems" improved but we've all heard that story before

Texas would date rape Georgia (again).

This is highly subjective and we all know that there is NO transitional property in college football, nor does the eye test work, after all, did anyone expect Auburn who struggled against GSU at home, to go into Death Valley and win?? Likely not. This is largely dependent on location and also ignores rivalries, because no matter what is said below doesn't mean Texas can't beat OU in Dallas
1. Alabama/Georgia beat either
2. Would likely beat Texas: Arkansas/Ole Miss/Florida/Kentucky
3. Can beat Texas: Everyone else but Vandy and SC
4. Can beat OU: Arkansas/Ole Miss/Florida/Auburn
5. Not likely to beat OU: Kentucky, Tennessee, MSU, LSU, South Carolina, Vandy
All that being said, the bottom line is that no one knows right now. I will say though that I don't expect OU to go undefeated unless they solve their O-Line problems. They made some strides in that direction this past weekend on the road, but this weekend will determine a lot.

Put aggy in the Would Beat Both group. They never lose hypothetical matchups.

Sooners will beat Bama this year in the CFP . Rationale...Sooners crushed Florida last year when Florida was better than this year and this year when Florida is crappy Florida almost beat Bama...
I expect Sooners would beat Georgia based on Georgia QB plAy.....
As for TexASS IDK...TexASS is better with Thompson at QB and would have beat Arky if Thompson started ...my guess is. TexASS would lose to Bama and Georgia and beat all others in sec with Thompson at QB...
As Far as Rattler he is the Hghest rated QB under pressure by PFF by a huge margin.....

These are dumb categories. do you think there are any teams that would beat oklahoma but not texas?
I get it OU doesnt look impressive. but texas is pretty comparable to LSU. talent, completely unreliable performance.
every year people forget that texas is a name not a football team. their record the last 10 years is 73-53. for reference, mississippi st's 10 year record is 75-53.

BAMA #1.
GA. #1.
ALL OTHERS #2
Except for vandy, mizz. S.C. who would be #3.

Kentucky would probably beat both.
LSU would call a TO to figure how to lose to both

As a side note Spooners, I’m stunned at how bad Rattler has looked… and yes, NB4 my own team sucks… anyway, he’s bad. And that’s coming from an LSU fan. We know bad QB play when we see it… LOTS of experience. He’s NOT Oklahoma level. Yall need to bench his tail and do what we do.. start pressuring the daylights out of the staff for the backup QB.

An easy 3 for South Carolina. We'd get smoked by both unfortunately.
