Auburn’s schedule is tough as it comes too.
Oregon at Cowboys Stadium will be tough. But AU always shows up for those. I could see them coming out and surprising everyone. Oregon will be a favorite but I can see AU winning by 14 plus.

South Carolina with the toughest schedule in the SEC for 2019?
by OKTGR580
They have UNC, Clemson & Alabama. Along with their usual Florida & Uga.
It's the toughest schedule in the country, not just the SEC.
Waiting for someone to prove me wrong on that claim.

I see four maybe 5 losses right there. Not trolling I just now saw the schedules.
Not too worried about UNC. Mack will make them better and there will be a lot of enthusiasm from Tarholio fans in Charlotte for the opener but he's got a tough rebuilding job to do up there.
Clemson, Bama and UGA will probably be preseason 1, 2, 3 so there's that. A&M will be over rated as usual. Kentucky loses a lot but they've had our number lately. Who knows what UF will bring to Columbia but they'll probably be picked to finish right behind UGA in the East.
Don't put a lot of stock on what some SC fans are saying ... they were ready to fire Martin just days ago before the basketball team started getting on track. Everyone is quick to diss on Boom right now but he's doing all the right things. He's tweeked, and is continuing to tweet, his staff in the off-season with some solid hires. Our running game will be improved. We return a senior QB. Our DLine will be much improved as will our entire defense, which was hobbled and too young for his past season and it cost us some games.
SC will be fine with his coming season. Much improved and capable of pulling off some upsets. Edwards will be a beast at WR. DLine will be young but really talented and fairly deep for a change ... gotta find a pass rusher or two. This was just Boom's third year, too many people forget that.
Everyone likes to love on Dabo these days but in his third year he took the worst loss in BCS history at the hands of WVA and Clemson idiots were screaming for his head. Gamecocks pounded them that year as well. Seven years later and the sheep humping sister bangers are clamoring to guzzle his peen.
UF fans diss on Boom and probably rightfully so but where they're wrong is when they claim he is exactly the same here as he was there when, in fact, there are only surface similarities and very few actual significant comparisons to be made for honest football fans.
I personally am looking forward to the challenge is that this coming season's schedule presents. We've got some great home games to look forward to plus a couple of great roads games. Matter of fact the wife and I are going to Athens, College Station and Knoxville TN this season in addition to the he home games so it's going to be fun.
What SC has to do right now is stay ahead of Tennessee, get back on track against Kentucky and keep pecking away at UGA and Clemson. We've also got to get the A&M monkey off our back.

7-6
11-2
4-8
6-5
Champs record at Florida. I’m detecting a pattern here. How many OC’s has this guy dumped and blamed for his defensive ineptitude? The guy has been and always will be smoke and mirrors until finally someone says “no, you just suck Will.”

You’ve reached your ceiling with Muschamp in 2017
SC's 2019 schedule is an excellent of how a team could be better on the field, but have less wins and more losses.

If SC goes 7-6 or 6-7 in 2019, are the fans getting a bit restless or is muschamp there as long as he wants to be?
I think there will be a portion of SC fans that will be restless if next season is a .500 or less season. Muschamp is going into his 4th year and he has had time to recruit and establish the system he wants to push. Now, I know SC is a rebuilding project due to the state of the program when he took over but I believe this is a critical year in seeing how far his rebuild has come. I don't expect SC to pull off several upsets next season but can they be competitive against teams like Bama, Georgia, Clemson, etc? Can they get over the hump against teams like UK and A&M which has owned them over the last few years? I'm not knocking on SC or the fans but how much more time does Muschamp need in order to tell if he can right the ship or not?

the Gamecocks don't have back-to-back SEC road games (or 3 SEC road games over 4 weeks w/bye) for only the 3rd time in the past 11 seasons. USC went 8-4 in 2017 (Muschamp) & 7-6 in 2014 (Spurrier) in the other two seasons without consecutive SEC road games.
at Missouri
at Georgia
at Tennessee
at Texas A&M
Muschamp's 3-0 vs Missouri & Tennesse. he's 0-3 vs Georgia, Texas A&M.
Alabama
Kentucky
Florida
Vanderbilt
Muchamp's 3-0 vs Vanderbilt, 1-2 vs Florida (home win), 0-3 vs UK and hasn't faced Alabama while at Carolina.
if Muschamp holds to form in 2019, he'll beat Vanderbilt, Missouri, Tennessee. he'll need to beat either Florida or Kentucky at home as well to get to 4 SEC wins again in 2019.
3 OOC wins with 4 SEC wins leads to another 7 win regular season. he'll need to avoid another no-show in a 'who cares' bowl game.
for me personally, 2020 has always been his "make-or-break" season since he was hired. the new Football OPS building just opened Jan 2019 - he's got to land a top half SEC recruiting class this next cycle.

I’ll never understand this Georgia hype. They can’t win a big game.

Dude you’re South Carolina. Stop acting like they’ll just blow out UNC just cause UNC has had a bad couple years. Y’all arent Florida or Georgia you don’t automatically come out as a 10 point favor due to the name on the front of the uniforms.
Posted on 1/16/19 at 4:25 pm to OKTGR580
Because we usually play good against North Carolina teams. I think we have a 10+ streak against teams there
Posted on 1/16/19 at 4:44 pm to OKTGR580
Watching UNC with their uniforms playing LSU with their uniforms on the same field is a pretty tough game.....

The same UNC team that took NC State to overtime in their last game. They looked a lot better in the 2nd half of the season and I have zero faith in this team and program right now.
UNC-NC St. is an in-state rivalry game. Throw out stats and trends when those games are played.
The Mack Brown staff at UNC reminds me of the Ellis Johnson staff at Southern Miss, when they led them to a 0-12 season. Mack is doing what Ellis did: hire up a bunch of his good ole boy FB friends from days gone by to his staff. The staff right now is averaging around 60 yrs old in age - I think one of his assistants is 80+ yrs old.
Mack has already won his NC, and had his best days at Texas. Even Texas got rid of his arse because he got fat and lazy with his successes there, and stopped trying. So now he's going to try at UNC after the fact, with a total rebuild job in a college basketball state that doesn't give a damn about FB? Yeah.....
Then, we get to play them in the season opener on a neutral field that will have 80% USC fans in attendance. I'm OK with this game right now.
The rest of the schedule is pretty stout, though. The best thing is we'll have a pretty veteran, experience offense returning that had one of the better offensive seasons in quite a while, and best under Muschamp. The defense was uncharacteristically bad, but dealt with thin depth in certain positions, and then injuries on top of that.
Good thing about the defense is that the top two DL in Wonnum and Kinlaw are returning, as well as veteran DL Kobe Smith and Keir Thomas. The depth of DL talent is similar to the unit during the 11-win seasons, and they've gotten some experience. The secondary was injury-riddled last season, but the depth has improved, so hopefully the injuries will decrease with experience increasing, and we'll see overall improvements throughout the defense.
If we can get a Muschamp team where both the offense AND the defense are trending up at the same time, perhaps we can see what the team can really accomplish...
