Seven of the SEC’s 12 teams are favored in their bowl games, including both contests against Big Ten opponents. Of note, though, is that SEC teams are underdogs in three of their four games against ACC foes. Remember that the ACC was 3-1 on “rivalry weekend” against SEC schools, with two of the games (FSU over Florida and Clemson over South Carolina) one-sided affairs.
