Name one. The Flex- or Wingbone offenses with their quick drive blocking would be very effective against SEC defenses.
Really, no one ever really stopped the Single Wing 60 years ago or the Wishbone 30 years ago. What killed them is it became tougher to recruit top tier athletes to play offenses in those systems. A triple option offense would still be effective today.

I mean, Georgia stuffed Georgia Tech's offense damn near every year because they were able to shut down Tech's fullbacks with the front four.

The only time Tech ever had success with the option against Georgia were when Georgia's defensive coordinator was seeing it for the first time.

2008- Johnson's first year at GT
2010- Grantham's first year at UGA
2014- Pruitt's first year at UGA
2016- Kirby's first year at UGA

Besides that, Tech's offense went nowhere against UGA.
