TAMU and UofSC--who ends with the best record?

So every time a strengthen of schedule comes out, there are people gasping at two teams that have to play Alabama, Georgia and Clemson plus the rest of the SEC gauntlet--Texas A&M and South Carolina.
They have similar talent and coaching (similar not identical) and they play each other so it'll get sorted out one way or another.
I'm interested in who folks think ends with the better record? My picks are below...
South Carolina
North Carolina (Charlotte) W (old Mack Brown, lol)
Charleston Southern W (text book cheaters)
Alabama L (though I'd love a UofSC win)
at Mizzou W (I love this rivalry, doink!)
Kentucky W (Kentucky takes a step back)
at Georgia L (only by 14 points though because Kirby and Muschamp are friends)
Florida W (Florida will be playing with 55 players on scholarship by this point)
at Tennessee L (Neyland is a weird place and TN has the second year bump)
Vanderbilt W (this might be a toss up if Vandy finds a QB)
Appalachian State W (good mid major)
at Texas A&M L (going to Kyle will be too much)
Clemson L (please, please let me be wrong!)
7-5
Texas A&M
Texas State W (is this the 9th best team in Texas?)
at Clemson L (you couldn't close at home last year. Hope you win though)
Lamar W (is this in Texas? Wtf)
Auburn L (Auburn is going to be good because everyone thinks the suck)
Arkansas (Arlington) W (they'll sneak up on someone but probably not you)
Alabama L (you're all Bama fans anyway so this is sort a W)
at Ole Miss W (Ole Miss won't be good)
Mississippi St. W (no way MSU gets better after losing that many studs to the NFL)
UTSA W (11th best team in Texas? Why don't you play Texas?)
South Carolina W (kellon mound for heisman?)
at Georgia L (Early in the season this is a toss up but UGA won't lose in Athens)
at LSU L (you made daddy mad by staying up too late. Now you're grounded.)
7-5
I guess they will tie?

USCe has a brutal schedule.
If they win 6 that’s a major accomplishment.

Gamecocks may be 6-6 after this season. But at least we don't 69 dudes.

It would surprise me if both programs had the same record but honestly, I think the difference will be the winner of our game in November. Winner of our game wins eight games while the loser wins seven.

I'm bullish on A&M. Plus USC's schedule is like a death march

Everyone wave to the Aggy fans who are on Strike. They can look, but they can't touch...

I can't help but read it if it's the first topic on the screen. Response was heartfelt.

He's an alter, so he probably already knows that.

Whose alter? All of you old timers here dance around that question like yall's heads are on fire and your asses are catchin. Name some names, otherwise, fake news.
It's a weak arse position to take if you can't prove it. But L8U is accustomed to weak arse positions, I reckon.

Breaking the boycott. (Except if I never agreed to the silly boycott, am I really breaking it? This is very confusing.) In any case a serious football-talk thread is impossible to resist.
I think you have 2 USC games incorrect:
I think the SJW's are going to be way better with their new QB. That's an L. I'd bet your money on it. But UT, I dunno. If UT hasn't already crapped the bed by then, then Neyland may pull them through for this one. But I expect they'll have crapped the bed by then. We'll see. Probable 7-5 finish after flipping those 2 games.
I think the Aggies finally beat Auburn at home (hasn't happened yet), though I certainly don't think Auburn sucks. And if (big if, admittedly) they can win one of the top 3 plus @LSU, we're looking at 9-3. I can live with 8-4, but 9-3 would be outstanding if they don't get blown out in any of those losses.

It's okay to come out of the closet late at night when no one is watching...

I would say USCe just because they're playing in the East alone. But consider the fact that USCe has to play A&M in cross division while A&M gets to play USCe in our cross division we can cancel out the Bama, Clemson and Georgia games as both teams play those 3 this year. A&M is left with a SEC West schedule in playing LSU, Auburn and Miss State. While USCe is left playing a SEC East schedule in playing Florida, Mizzou and UK. I kept out Arky, OM, Vandy and Tenn as those bottom tier games sort of cancel each other out.
Given the above I'd say it's close schedule wise but talent wise A&M is a bit ahead. It more than likely comes down to who wins the head to head which you have to imagine is in A&Ms favor at this time.

This is it right here. Everything else cancels out, although 11-2 App State, 2-9 North Carolina, and 5-6 FCS Charleston Southern is a better trio of non-conf. opponents than 3-9 Texas St., 3-9 UTSA, and 7-5 FCS Lamar. But I would say that Florida>LSU, Missouri>Auburn, and UK>Miss St. too......
Also, while Tennessee didn't play either Ole Miss nor Arkansas last season, Vanderbilt did play both, and went 2-0 against them....

A&M will get at least 6. I think scheduling helps-- getting Ole Miss and Arkansas is a nice catch.
USC-E gets neither, and has many non-cons that could go against them.
A&M wins this match up, as both teams disappoint.
