Ten SEC teams take up the top 17 spots in Bill Connelly’s post-spring SP+ ratings update.
ESPN’s college football analyst unveiled the latest batch of SP+ numbers on Thursday. Ohio State held the top spot, just like it did in the initial ratings reveal back in February. The top 7 from that February reveal remain unchanged in terms of the teams. Alabama, Penn State, and Georgia still round out the top 4 (in that order). Texas moved up from No. 7 to No. 5, causing Notre Dame and Oregon to each slide down a spot.
The biggest move in the top 10 came from Tennessee, which dropped from eighth to 13th. Connelly’s model views the Vols as 2.9 points per game worse in the aftermath of the Nico Iamaleava transfer. Clemson, which was 11th in the February edition of SP+, moved up to eighth. Michigan also entered the top 10, displacing Ole Miss, which moved from ninth to 11th.
Only 1 team moved into the top 25: Arizona State. The Sun Devils replaced Iowa. ASU’s move was the biggest of any team in the top 25. Illinois also moved up 6 spots from the previous rating.
Mizzou was downgraded by 3.2 points from the previous rating to fall 6 spots. Only Iowa, which fell 7 spots, had a larger drop among top-25 teams.
In total, 12 SEC teams appeared in the top 25. The Big Ten had 6 in the top 25, while the ACC had 4 and the Big 12 had 2.
