The SEC (among other conferences) will attempt to have a college football season.
Some conferences are opting to push their schedule to spring, but the powerhouse SEC will start their season near the end of September. With that being said, which SEC program will be crowned champions at season end?
※ Current Odds Date & Time:August 30th, 3:00 P.M. (EST)
Online bookmaker William Hill has the Crimson Tide at -130 to win the SEC Championship.
The LSU Tigers are the defending SEC champions, defeating the Georgia Bulldogs in the finals. LSU is currently +700 to win the SEC championship. WR Ja’Marr Chase has opted out of the season in preparation for the 2021 NFL season. Chase was arguably the number one WR in the nation and a huge loss for the Tigers.Georgia has reached the SEC championship game in three straight seasons. Most recently winning in 2017, the Bulldogs are looking to start the next decade on the right foot. The Bulldogs have the second-best odds at winning the SEC championship, currently listed at +240.The Alabama Crimson Tide are the favorites to be crowned SEC champs in 2020. Alabama last won the SEC championship in 2018 and has the most SEC championships to their name. The Crimson Tide also have more wins than losses in SEC championship games and are a powerhouse every season.
Teams like the Florida Gators (+800) also have a decent shot at winning the SEC championship but are not heavily liked by the bookmakers like Alabama or Georgia.
From there Texas A&M and Auburn are decent longshots to win, but teams like the Razorbacks, Commodores, and Gamecocks are the biggest underdogs this season.
2020 has been unpredictable. Will that hold for the SEC championship as well?
