Have to point out the massive rainstorm that caused a slick ball which is much tougher to hang on to.

2012 and 2013 South Carolina. Both would have gotten into a 12-team playoff, and been very dangerous.
Yea, that is a good one. The 2019 South Carolina win was stunning.
South Carolina and Miss. St. played the first game back after 9/11, on a Thursday night. Surreal experience.
Yes, I was at the South Carolina - LSU tie game in 1995. Also, Clemson - South Carolina tie in 1986. Yes, I am old. I didnt mind the tie games. It was better than the wretched OT system we use to determine a winner.
SC VS. LSU 2024. Refs protected the wrong team. SC would have been a 4th SEC playoff team.
No, without Rocket Sanders and Kyle Kennard, SC is not a playoff team.
It is cold in the mountains of Tennessee.

Shouldn't have to assume what a penalty call is for.
I like 16, no byes. Straight, correct seeding. The top 3 or 4 teams would basically get byes with the "conference champ" they would get to play at home.

2 - 10. That is a real melt.

We may end up as the 3rd highest rank team in the SEC, in the top 10. If that in fact is the case, then we would be playoff worthy in retrospect, in my opinion. Now, it is time to move on to the bowl game and hopefully make our case for the top 10.

It was 27 - 3. People talk like this was a 59 - 0 game or something. Sellers and Sanders were both 50% at best for that game. Ole Miss was pissed after a home loss to Kentucky. Very few teams would have played that game any closer.
I guess that we are assuming he called blind side block, when he only called an unspecified personal foul?

The ref gives a specific arm signal for a blind side block penalty. He never gave the signal for a blind side block. You don't need audio for that.

It was not called a blindside block by the officials. No explanation was given.
South Carolina at Notre Dame would have been a good one. Indiana had no business being in the playoff.
