What would be a bigger surprise? South Carolina over Auburn or Tenn over Bama?

Both seem widely far-fetched, but IF both happened, which would you look at as a more surprising victory?

Keep in mind some of the notes:

South Carolina hasn't beaten Auburn since 1933 (Have played 8 times since)

Tennessee hasn't beaten Alabama since 2006.

South Carolina is on the road, while Tennessee is at home.

Tennessee-Alabama is a "rivalry" of some sort, whereas South Carolina-Auburn is not.

South Carolina is in their first bad year since 2010 (my thread, my timeframe ), Tennessee has been consistently bad for a while now.

With Worley out, def Tenn over Bama.

I could see Spurrier deciding to tell his DC to jump off a cliff so he can call a gem of a game. Tennessee winning would be a much bigger surprise

USC over Auburn. The Gus Bus is pissed! Sorry USC fans



And UTk defense matches up well with Bama's offense. I expect a close, low scoring game.

South Carolina has 2 wins over top 20 teams and are 2 wtf 4th quarters from being a 1 loss team. UT just flat out sucks.

I didn't even realize Worley was out until after I made this thread. Whoops

If you go by this year, the biggest upset would be South Carolina beating Auburn. Alabama has been extremely vulnerable playing on the road this year. They were lucky just to squeak by Arkansas on the road a couple of weeks ago. OTOH, Auburn has won every home game this year by at least 24 points, and South Carolina has done nothing to show they can beat even a decent team on the road

Tennessee

Carolina isn't that bad, or at least they have potential to be decent. They just didn't show up week 1 and choked 2 games away in the 4th against mediocre teans.

Tennessee over Bama - we're gonna use yet another mix of our rebuilt line (aka the walking wounded which includes a one legged senior walkon playing tackle - seriously he tore his ACL in the first game and because he obviously feels no pain/has balls of steel worked his way back in) and our QB may be Peterman. Of course, our QB could also be Dobbs.

Point being we're injured as hell on the offense, have no depth, and have no clue who our QB will be but we're hearing rumors of both backups.

As long as Ward is locked away in the box and Spurrier has the ability to override dumbass defensive calls, I think we have at least a small shot at winning this. At least keeping it from being an embarrassing blow out.
