The SEC is one of the sport's four power conferences. Saturday Night Showdown carries live projections and ADP for all 138 FBS programs — power-conference and Group of Five alike.
Projected points and ADP are Saturday Night Showdown's own 2026 season-long projections and live draft-board averages, generated before Week 0 kicks off — not stats from games already played.
