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. That got me thinking about other schools in the conference. Who resembles who the most?
One I thought about was Georgia and UCLA. While UGA has had better recent history, I don't think anyone would argue both perpetually underachieve. Both are usually a bit soft. Both have put plenty of talent in the NFL. Both are in the shadow of big brother. The winning percentages are similar. Both schools are smack dab in recruiting hotbeds. UGA has one more natty. Actually, now that I think about it a bit, I might argue that UF is a better UCLA comparison.
Others?

Probably Iowa for us. Up until the last 10 years I might have said Clemson.

Kansas State and Mississippi State are very relatable. Ironic that we play them week 2 this year.

Ole Miss is easily Kansas
ETA: For LSU i'd say WVU. Kind of a wildcard culturally compared to the rest of its conference. But WVU hasn't ever had a NC so maybe it's in culture only.
ETA2: Someone ahead of me posted Wisconsin, that's definitely it. But again with more hardware.

Wouldn't Kentucky be Kansas? Both great basketball schools without a football team?

SC and Va Tech is something I always hear, not sure that I agree. SC and UNC I hear ... but I can't remember the last time they beat us. Same for SC and NC State ... but NC State (and Va Tech and UNC for that matter) all wish they had our facilities and our support structure.
I dunno who it would be for SC honestly.

if we're going off of the last 50 years, probably ND.

I would go with Arizona State for Ole Miss. Party schools, easy sloots, both have in state rivals, both not known for academics. Both with decent sports program, but not great.

You lost me here, who in the frick do you think Florida's big brother is? Nobody in the state of Florida for sure.

Mizzou and Iowa are very similar. I'd also say Arizona State or maybe Louisville.

Missouri and Utah

Can't believe UGA people let this through, who the hell is UGA's big brother?

I see a lot of similarities academically between Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Standford, Duke, and A&M.
