Carolina and it's not even close. Auburn has 2 sec titles and a national championship in the saban era. We have jack shite

This but I'd say it goes beyond just the Saban era. Auburn has a long history of success. South Carolina doesn't. It can point to building itself up over time but Clemson can counter that with "Spurrier's gone" yadda, yadda, yadda.

That's not to say that South Carolina doesn't have tons going for it but that to change perception of the football program it will take more. If Muschamp can win the SEC (not just the East but the conference) that would go a long way.

A slower way would be sustained but not ultimate (think titles) under Muschamp while Clemson stays out of the national title picture (they don't have to fail but if they're out of the title picture it will matter). I think that scenario could could even things out for SC.
