There’s still a bit of juice left in the orange that is the 2015 college football season, but with a few days left before the start of bowl season, it’s fun to think about fantasy match-ups.

For example, how would this year’s SEC teams fare against the 2014 versions of themselves?

Let’s break it down:

BLOWOUTS

Georgia (14 over 15) — Quarterback play would be the difference in this game. Hutson Mason completed nearly 68 percent of his passes and rarely turned the ball over (four interceptions against 21 touchdowns). Grayson Lambert, Brice Ramsey and Faton Batua are inconsistent, and thus would struggle against the 2014 Bulldog defense, which allowed just under 21 points per game. Both teams would have similar running games and defenses, but Mason would give the 2014 squad a huge edge.

Florida (15 over 14) — Assuming Will Grier as the 2015 quarterback, this year’s team wins in a romp. Under new coach Jim McElwain, Grier added punch to the Gators on offense, and the 2015 defense allowed five fewer points per game than the 2014 version. If you factor in coaching, that’s also an edge for the 2015 squad.

Missouri (14 over 15) — This one is another no-contest. The 2015 Tigers were outstanding defensively, allowing just over 16 points per game. Unfortunately, that’s almost three more points than the offense could muster. The 2014 versions of Maty Mauk and Russell Hansbrough — not to mention the offensive line — played far better than the 2015 versions. This year’s defense would keep the score down, but the offense would not be able to keep them in the game.

South Carolina (14 over 15) — Quarterback play matters. Dylan Thompson (3,574 yards and 26 touchdowns) is far better than anyone who took snaps for the Gamecocks this fall. Mike Davis is also an upgrade from this year’s running backs. Call the defenses a push, as both finished at or near the bottom of the league. But on offense, this one isn’t really close.

STRONG LEANS

Auburn (14 over 15) —Nick Marshall and the Tigers finished second in the SEC in total offense last season, while the defense was in the middle of the pack. This season, the quarterback duo of Sean White and Jeremy Johnson didn’t play quite as well, and the Tigers slipped to 10th. Consider that the defense fell to 13th in the league rankings, and you’d have to make the 2014 team the favorite.

Mississippi State (14 over 15) — Josh Robinson rushed for 1,203 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2014, which is more than everyone on the 2015 roster not named Dak Prescott managed combined. The 2014 squad rushed for 3,030 yards — almost twice as many as this year’s team. The Bulldogs never found their go-to back in 2015, and that would be the difference if the two squads met.

Ole Miss (15 over 14) — Chad Kelly was a strong addition to the Rebels’ offense, and statistically, he’s a bit better than his 2014 counterpart, Bo Wallace. This year’s team is also slightly better on the ground. The 2014 defense was a bit better than this year’s bunch, but the edge goes to this year’s Rebels in a shootout.

Vanderbilt (15 over 14) — This game has 10-3 written all over it. The Vanderbilt defense ranked in the top half of the league in both scoring and total defense this season, despite getting virtually no support from the offense. Last year’s offense was slight better, but the defense allowed 147 more points over the course of the season. Commodores fans can only hope that Derek Mason, after his work with the defense, can now turn around the offense for 2016.

TOSS UPS

Kentucky (15 over 14) — Both teams finished 5-7. The 2014 Wildcats scored more points than this year’s team, but allowed more points, too. Both had the same leading rusher (Stanley “Boom” Williams), the same leading passer (Patrick Towles) and the same leading tackler (Josh Forrest). This year’s team had three losses by five points or less while last year’s squad had only one.

Alabama (14 over 15) — It’s hard to choose a winner here. Last year’s Crimson Tide scored more points, and allowed more, too. Blake Sims produced more at quarterback than Jake Coker has been required to do and Amari Cooper was spectacular at wide out. Seven starters returned this year on defense, and that experience has led to a 70-yard improvement in total defense (328 to 258) — vaulting them to the top of the heap in the SEC. This year’s team has a Heisman-winning running back in Derrick Henry. Still, if there’s a defense that could stand up to him, it’s his own. It’s air tight, but I’ll take the 2014 team in a nail-biter.

Tennessee (15 over 14) — The Volunteers grew up quit a bit in 2015, working through some early season disappointments and building a five-game winning streak heading into bowl season. Tennessee scored six more points and allowed three fewer than the 2014 team, which is the sort of development you’d expect from a team that returned 18 starters. With largely the same key players, this year’s team would have to be a slight favorite.

Texas A&M (15 over 14) — John Chavis was hired to fix the defense, and that unit improved dramatically. The 2015 defense allowed seven fewer points per game and moved from 14th to seventh in total defense. Unfortunately for Aggie fans, the offense regressed a bit, too. The yards only decreased by 30, but the 2015 team scored a touchdown per game less than last year. Anytime a good defense plays a good offense, take the defense. This year’s defense would make enough plays to take a close victory.

LSU (15 over 14) — Another case of two sides of the ball rising and falling at opposite times. The 2014 defense was the league’s best in terms of yards allowed. With six starters back, this year’s unit fell to fifth. That offset the modest gains made at quarterback (Brandon Harris over Anthony Jennings). This year’s version of Leonard Fournette was dramatically better (and better used). His improvement alone makes the 2015 team the favorite in what would be a close contest.

Arkansas (15 over 14) — November Arkansas would crush September Arkansas, as the Razorbacks bounced back in a big way from a dismal start of the season. The 2014 defense was quite a bit better than this year’s unit, but this year’s offense was a bit more balanced, thanks to Brandon Allen’s strong senior season. The difference is this year’s team’s ability to win close games in the league. Narrow wins against Tennessee, Auburn and Ole Miss saved the season, and that experience would serve this year’s team well in a game against the 2014 Razorbacks.
