Saying UT is a top 10 team is probably not a stretch. Top 4? I don't think so. I don't think we'd beat Clemson, Stanford, or Ohio State. And we already saw what happened when we faced Oklahoma and Bama.
Until we beat FL, they are better than us. For me, I have:
Alabama
Ole Miss
FL (Until we win next year)
UT.
SEC received very favorable matchups. Had UT played Michigan I think its a FG game. Penn State was perfect for Georgia. Miss St is much much better than NC State and LSU > TTU by double digits was a no brainer.
