When it comes to against-the-spread, non-conference records, no league can touch the SEC after three weeks
Published:
Through the first three weeks of the college football season, the SEC has proven that it is still the dominate conference.
One of the best indicators of a conference’s strength is how they fare in non-conference matchups, and no one has done better than the SEC.
In Week 1, we saw No. 9 Auburn upset No. 6 Washington and No. 25 LSU upset No. 8 Miami, but the SEC has also dominated when it comes to gambling against the spread.
According to Jon Campbell of OddsShark, the SEC is a whopping 22-10-1 against the spread when facing a foe outside of the SEC this season, which is better than any conference by a long shot.
The other Power Five conferences are .500 or just a couple games above it. The Mountain West comes in at No. 2 behind the SEC, with a record of 19-16-1.
