2023 College Football odds: Nation's top two teams have surprising ATS record

Published Sep. 26, 2023 2:19 p.m. ET

Everyone knows undefeated Georgia and Michigan sit 1-2 in the latest AP Top 25 poll — yet the Bulldogs and Wolverines are members of a far more dubious club this season.

The two juggernauts are among nine FBS teams that are winless against the spread (ATS) this season.

Yes, powerhouses Georgia and Michigan have something in common with Vanderbilt, which is 0-5 ATS this season.

Powerhouse and/or "public" teams usually have their point spreads adjusted to counter their popularity with bettors. But for the top two teams in the country, being winless ATS causes one to do a double-take.

Here's a look at the betting results ATS for the two powerhouses:

Week 1

Georgia (-50.5) 48, UT Martin 7 LOSS

Michigan (-35.5) 30, East Carolina 3 LOSS

Week 2

Georgia 45 (-42), Ball State 3 PUSH

Michigan (-37.5) 35, UNLV 7 LOSS

Week 3

Georgia 24 (-26.5), South Carolina 14 LOSS

Michigan (-40.5) 31, Bowling Green 6 LOSS

Week 4

Georgia (-40.5) 49, UAB 21 LOSS

Michigan (-24) 31, Rutgers 7 PUSH
