re: Poll: Will South Carolina have ANOTHER 11-2 season?

Yall haven't beaten Auburn since 1933 so there's one loss on the schedule.

In all fairness, they've only played 11 times and South Carolina has only recently become a strong program. That will be a tough one for sure, but they were very close in 2010 and 2011. They stunned Bama in 2010 and at that point I realized they had arrived (not saying they had not arrived before this game, I was just late to acknowledge it). My only concern with South Carolina is consistency. Sometimes this is an issue for programs that are relatively new to winning consistently. They seem to have an unfortunate habit of dropping one or two that they shouldn't. Losing to Tennessee this year was probably the worst instance of this, and it prevented them from locking up the SEC East.
