There aren't many games that are supposed to be competitive, so you might as well pay attention to the spread.
As you may have noticed, and you probably wouldn't be reading this if you hadn't, the SEC looked very bad in the first week. The projection systems weren't that great at the games I previewed either.
| Overall Record | 7+ against the spread | |
| FPI | 12-4 | 0-1 |
| S&P | 10-6 | 1-1 |
FPI was overconfident in Oklahoma.
