Overview
- Sportsbooks post three ranked SEC matchups considered pivotal for pecking order, with Texas A&M at LSU, Ole Miss at Oklahoma, and Missouri at Vanderbilt drawing the most attention.
- ESPN notes College GameDay will be in Nashville for Missouri–Vanderbilt as the Commodores enter the AP top 10 for the first time since 1947.
- SportsLine’s model, which simulates every FBS game 10,000 times, projects Washington (-4.5) to cover against No. 23 Illinois in nearly 60% of simulations.
- The same model favors Colorado (+13.5) to cover at Utah in nearly 60% of runs and projects the Under to cash well over 60% of the time.
- Veteran handicapper Bruce Marshall, on a reported 14-3 run, is recommending No. 4 Alabama (-12.5) at South Carolina and the Under 47.5 in that matchup.
