We’re breaking down season wins totals on this Memorial Day weekend, giving our projections for the SEC, as well as select teams from poverty conferences. Obviously injuries and the like derail even the best laid plans, but here are our picks as we peer through the mirror, darkly.

SEC
Oklahoma 6.5:
Our Call: Over. The Sooners won the lottery this year, outbidding everyone for the best quarterback in the transfer class. The defense rounded into form in Year Two, and it only gets better this season. The running game is physical. The OL is nasty.
