We released our Week 6 predictions Wednesday evening but if an analytic method is more your style, here’s an alternative set of SEC picks that may interest you.
Ed Feng’s site The Power Rank recently released its picks for Week 6. Feng’s system has helped him to pick the correct winner 72.7% of the time dating back to the 2016 season. It’s also noteworthy that his record does not count cupcake FBS vs FCS games, only FBS vs FBS games.
Last week, The Power Rank once again accurately predicted seven of the eight SEC games. The only miss was Troy’s upset at LSU.
