Bill Connelly is out with the SP+ predictions for Week 2, and has several interesting projections across the SEC.
Connelly’s computer model is an “opponent- and tempo-adjusted look at the most sustainable and predictive aspects of college football. It is intended to be predictive and forward-facing.”
While Florida is a 5.5-point favorite, the SP+ has a very narrow margin of victory for the Gators as they look to start 2-0 in The Swamp. Both Arkansas over South Carolina, and Tennessee over Pitt are in line with the betting line ahead of Saturday’s games.
Many of the other games are expected to be lopsided, including the projected first loss of the season for Vanderbilt.
Here are all of the SEC projections:
Alabama 39, Texas 20
Florida 27.0, Kentucky 26.6
Tennessee 37, Pitt 30
Arkansas 30, South Carolina 21
Texas A&M 37, Appalachian State 15
Georgia 59, Samford 0
Ole Miss 49, Central Arkansas 6
Auburn 37, San Jose State 9
LSU 53, Southern 0
Mississippi State 36, Arizona 14
Wake Forest 38, Vanderbilt 22
Kansas State 31, Missouri 23
