CG Technology this week became the first Nevada sportsbook to release projected college football win totals for the 2015 season.

The Gamecocks opened at 6.5 wins, which puts the team 12th among SEC teams. USC was 7-6 in 2014 after three-straight 11-2 seasons.

National champion Ohio State opened at 11.5 wins. No SEC team has a line set for double-digit wins. Bets are placed for a team being over or under those projected wins, with only regular-season games counting.

South Carolina ranks also 12th at 25-to-1 among odds for winning the SEC football championship.

Here are the projections for win totals for all the SEC teams.

▪  Alabama 9.5

▪  Georgia 9

▪  Auburn 8.5

▪  LSU 8.5

▪  Mississippi 8.5

▪  Arkansas 8

▪  Tennessee 8

▪  Texas A&M 8

▪  Missouri 7.5

▪  Florida 7

▪  Mississippi State 7

▪  South Carolina 6.5

▪  Kentucky 5.5

▪  Vanderbilt 3.5
