And if they had Mitch Jeter, the most accurate kicker in school history, they definitely beat Bama. Unfortunately Jeter went to Norte Dame as a 5th year Senior to pursue Grad School. And really there were multiple bad calls in the LSU game...including two Pick 6's called back on completely bogues calls.
@@GodLovesComicsyou just put in Kai. Simple. Yes, you need to get Alex the Hometown Kid some time to adjust but he’s had plenty of time for that, Kai can hit that thing from the other end of the field!!
Only one penalty on the pick sixes was called wrong...the 1st was called correctly per the current horse collar rule..grabbing of the jersey above the lettering/numbers while the QB is in the pocket is considered a horse collar tackle. The 2nd is the controversial one because the ref's mike wasn't working properly and no one could hear what he said and only saw his hand signal for unnecessary roughness. So there was a debate on what the unnecessary roughness call was for...either late hit or blindside block. If it was for late hit, then that call would be wrong because Nussmeier wasn't touched until after the interception was made and he advanced toward Emmanwori, thereby making him eligible to be hit. If it was called as a blindside block, that would be wrong also because the rules were changed in 2019 and had a bunch of new actions added to the list. But in the rules, there's a list of 'exceptions'..with 'using your hands to block' being one. Which is exactly what Kennard did against Nussmeier, who should eventually win an Oscar for his superb acting skills in 'The Flop'. But that call wasn't the nail in the coffin...that came when Kennard jumped offside on 4th down, giving LSU a first down.
As a gamecock, much as it hurts me to say it - we ain't gettin in the playoff. A committe that thinks Penn State is the 4th best team record wise is clearly nuts.
Honestly South Carolina has played so well this season, especially ramping up as the season has gone on, that the prospect of playing an awful Michigan team in the Music City Bowl sounds like a real downer. Hard to find a matchup outside of the CFP that sounds exciting. Definitely NOT Iowa (or Illinois)! If possible Penn State, Nebraska (where former SC OC Marcus Satterfield works), or Notre Dame (where SC's great kicker Mitch Jeter now plays) are the most attractive games. Tragic South Carolina won't make the CFP, because there's not a single team in the Playoff that would want to see Carolina.
I think SC gets a pass for the Ole Miss game but we should have closed out that LSU and Bama game. Those losses hurt more then Ole Miss. I think we do have a shot if we win out and look impressive doing it. Mizzou, Clemson Vandy and Texas A&M will be a good resume
The only way the Gamecocks get in the discussion is beat both Missouri and Clemson by 21+, Texas A&M wins the SEC and Clemson wins the ACC. Despite what happen to LSU and Alabama, they are still both losses. Then again maybe there's some crazy games with the at larges and the Gamecocks default in but 2 loss SEC teams will get preference.
Wade Manuel the Chairman of the CFB PLAYOFF said the comity loves S.C they ranked S.C in front of LSU. THAT LSU GAME IS WHAT GIVES US A CHANCE. WADE SAID THERES A LOT MORE GOES INTO THAT LSU GAME THEN HEAD TO HEAD RESULTS
Well… We’ve Blown Out 4 SEC Opponents and I’m gonna get ahead of myself and say we make it 5 come Saturday!!! 1 Bad Loss 2 Close Losses This Love for the B-10 and those 3 losses could be the difference 🤷♂️ Yet… We blow out Mizzu Get a 4 TD lead fairly quickly against Wofford and Rest the Starters and Still Add Points Throttle Clemy in Their House and Who Knows 🤔 Maybe the Committee looks at the LSU Game and What We Have Done Lately and Believes We Belong🤔🤷♂️ It’s Great To See Us at Least in The Conversation Especially When Vegas had us at 4.5 W’s 😳🙄😊 Lotta things have to happen for Us to Get that Invite 🤔🤷♂️😊 I’m Super Happy for This Team However It Plays Out!!!💯🔥✅ Keep It Rolling Young Men Keep It Rolling!!! Spurs Up☝️ Go Gamecocks!!! 🏈🏆✅
It's going to happen!! No other team in the nation deserves to be in that playoff. The Gamecocks are getting better each game. We can win out in blowout fashion and get a little help rivalry week and sneak in!!
Presuming South Carolina ends up 9-3. It is obvious that conferences make more money with the more teams they get into the CFPs. South Carolina was pre-season ranked by SEC as #13, or a bottom tier team. The question of whether LSU was perceived as a possible playoff team, while South Carolina was not, and as such was protected. South Carolina also lost its starting QB who was running all over LSU in 1st half. I think you could make a GREAT argument that Gamecocks' schedule was more difficult than Georgia's and South Carolina performed better against its schedule than Georgia did, except that Georgia scored a TD against Ole Miss in their loss.
I seen something earlier saying that if a&m beats texas and Carolina beats mizzou and clemson by good margins then the payoff committee could look at Vanderbilt being Texas most impressive win and Carolina could possibly jump into texas place since Carolina beat Vanderbilt by more than them
I think this is a very realistic possibility. Another Texas loss, and an ND loss to Southern Cal makes SC attractive- assuming they win out in dominant fashion.
Yo I'd say just give us Oregon. Because the Gamecocks would destroy them for sure just by winning the turnover battle and win the game 77-28 and that would be good. Go Gamecocks
Chaos would need to happen but if clemson and texas am win the acc and sec respectively and carolina beat both of them convincingly, one on the road, it would be a compelling argument to include them as they wluld have wins over two other playoff teams. I am not holding my breath and think 1% would be right for their chances, but its an argument that could be made
Agreed, we need to keep winning and we need even more help from other teams. I'm glad Clemson pulled off the W today for a shot at the ACC. If we win against them and they wind up being ACC Champs, that gives us a strong case. Also, it does not help us that UF beat LSU tonight.
IF Carolina runs the table if the playoff committee leaves us out then....idk that would pretty scep. Also anyone/any team in a bowl game that is not in the playoff then teams won’t be the teams that we’ve seen all year. It happened last year. Carolina should have beat ND! We were the better team we were just missing KEY PLAYERS!
What if Mizzou plays top 20 football for once, and the defense struggles a bit, but the offense looks entirely different under a pass-focused Sellers. The gamecocks still manage to win, and have now shown that there is possibly another aspect to their offense that can be used if teams sell out against the run
A Strong Finish Enhances Everything!!! Well-outside of the Playoffs 🤷♂️ Recruiting Portal Trajectory of the Program!!! Love to See This TEAM Win Out!!!💯🔥 Spurs Up☝️ Go Gamecocks!!! 🏈🏆✅
No, at least not this year. Play the way they did next year and we’ll be looking at an Indiana situation. Truthfully if lsu didn’t screw us then yes. We would be
If South Carolina in the SEC!!!!!! Big Ten got 4 teams in top 5 .when the big 10 team have 3 loses they want be saying that. South Caroline earned a playoff birth 9-3 regular season. PlAyed 8 or 7 rank opp.
Lsu bullshit hurts us the most. 2 bullshit call on interceptions for touchdowns. Late hits!!! Especially the 2nd one. The QB threw a int. And made a move to tackle the returner which made him eligible to be blocked. He was only hit with 2 hands. No shoulder no helmet. Complete bullshit
The Ole MIss game was decided on one huge terrible move. The 4th down try inside your 30-yard line allowing Ole Miss an easy path to the first TD was a game changer. Idiotic move at best. That said....the rest of the season was good.
Why would any good player, regardless of remaining eligibility, play in a bowl game? There’s nothing to gain for them, it’s all risk. I think you either play in a playoff game or season over.
How does the #15Gamecocks match up against #13Colo #14Smu #16Byu and #9Pennst, #10NotreDame ? Will they knock #12Clemson out of the top 12 parade Soon? The Pacific Big 10 should be thankful they get 3 teams into the top 12 playoffs !! We need the college 12 playoffs open up and not aligned with a SEC & Pacific Big 10 bracket to the championship, Draw the teams out of a hat in who we play*
SC is literally 2 plays, one being the refs bad call, from being 10-1
Missed FG kick in the fourth against Bama
8-1 top 10 in the country
And if they had Mitch Jeter, the most accurate kicker in school history, they definitely beat Bama. Unfortunately Jeter went to Norte Dame as a 5th year Senior to pursue Grad School. And really there were multiple bad calls in the LSU game...including two Pick 6's called back on completely bogues calls.

Yep
We at #18 with two weeks left idk few in front lose we win out we in it

Colorado, gives us Colorado
The allstate playoff predictor has us at 14% right now and has us at a 47% chance if we win out so I'm not sure where the 1% is coming from
CBS had us at 1.6 on ig I believe where I saw it and with those chances you named SC is going to need a lot of teams to lose some
They just dropped us significantly. Down to 7% and
A&M wasn’t a big win? They were 1st in SEC
USC 34 Mizzou 7. Letssss goooo
If mizzou wins. Are we in the playoff picture?
Lets go mizzou
We beat the brakes off LSU and the refs stole it from us. As a 2 loss team, I think we're in. It's really a shame
I think SC gets a pass for the Ole Miss game but we should have closed out that LSU and Bama game. Those losses hurt more then Ole Miss. I think we do have a shot if we win out and look impressive doing it. Mizzou, Clemson Vandy and Texas A&M will be a good resume

@vehemon Yeah that's probably going to need to happen
SC might be the best 6-3 of all time. Our defensive line is SCARY. I hope we get a chance to beat the Clemtards for a shot at the playoffs. He'll yeah
Wade Manuel the Chairman of the CFB PLAYOFF said the comity loves S.C they ranked S.C in front of LSU. THAT LSU GAME IS WHAT GIVES US A CHANCE. WADE SAID THERES A LOT MORE GOES INTO THAT LSU GAME THEN HEAD TO HEAD RESULTS
Well…
We’ve Blown Out 4 SEC Opponents and I’m gonna get ahead of myself and say we make it 5 come Saturday!!!
1 Bad Loss
2 Close Losses
This Love for the B-10 and those 3 losses could be the difference 🤷♂️
Yet…
We blow out Mizzu
Get a 4 TD lead fairly quickly against Wofford and Rest the Starters and Still Add Points
Throttle Clemy in Their House and Who Knows 🤔
Maybe the Committee looks at the LSU Game and What We Have Done Lately and Believes We Belong🤔🤷♂️
It’s Great To See Us at Least in The Conversation Especially When Vegas had us at 4.5 W’s 😳🙄😊
Lotta things have to happen for Us to Get that Invite 🤔🤷♂️😊
I’m Super Happy for This Team However It Plays Out!!!💯🔥✅
Keep It Rolling Young Men
Keep It Rolling!!!
Spurs Up☝️
Go Gamecocks!!!
🏈🏆✅
It's going to happen!! No other team in the nation deserves to be in that playoff. The Gamecocks are getting better each game. We can win out in blowout fashion and get a little help rivalry week and sneak in!!
All we can do is to finish strong and wish for some help from other teams and the committee

An unbeaten Army team isn't better than a 3 loss SEC team. Sorry.
I think Colorado would be a fun bowl game for Carolina to face.
Me too
me too, but Shedeur & TH wouldn’t be playing
Only way thats a “good” or “fun” matchup is if its in a playoff.
Never thought about that until now. Sanders mouth vs Gamecocks DL. I love it.
Yo I'd say just give us Oregon. Because the Gamecocks would destroy them for sure just by winning the turnover battle and win the game 77-28 and that would be good. Go Gamecocks
The SEC logo is keeping Carolina out of the CFP. Fight me about it.
LSU game said it all
Can we talk about the slim but realistic possibility of an 8 way tie for 1st in the SEC?
I believe only 2 upsets would need to occur and those would be away games for the favored teams
All the 2 loss teams win out, Texas A&M loses to auburn, and Texas loses to A & M
Chaos would need to happen but if clemson and texas am win the acc and sec respectively and carolina beat both of them convincingly, one on the road, it would be a compelling argument to include them as they wluld have wins over two other playoff teams.

SOUTH CAROLINA is POISED to WIN the NFL SUPERBOWL. SOUTH CAROLINA is THE BEST team in the NFL AND FOOTBALL TEAM!
Wow! Now there's a Gamecock fan!
Here HERE!!!! 🫡🏈🐓❤️
Is this a joke? This is college not the nfl and there is no Super Bowl. Whatever you’re smoking I want some.
lol it’s an angry Clempson fan😂🖕
😂

I just wanna beat Clemson in Death Valley right know that is all that matters to me for a great year 🙏
SC definitely plays like they in the top 5!!
A Strong Finish
Enhances Everything!!!
Well-outside of the Playoffs 🤷♂️
Recruiting
Portal
Trajectory of the Program!!!
Love to See This TEAM
Win Out!!!💯🔥
Spurs Up☝️
Go Gamecocks!!!
🏈🏆✅
Let’s Go Tigers!!! I know REALLY TOUGH road game with a really good team on the rise. However NEVER SAY DIE 🖤💛🖤 MIZ🏈ZOU
That would be a great game
No, at least not this year. Play the way they did next year and we’ll be looking at an Indiana situation. Truthfully if lsu didn’t screw us then yes. We would be
Is the wild scenario in the room with us or did I miss it?
Gamecocks vs Notre Dame will be electric !!!!!
Update?
LOL! Chase, did you just hype the Music City and Liberty bowls?? For South Carolina, it's Citrus or ReliaQuest. Outside of that, its a bust.
By the way go gamecocks!
If South Carolina in the SEC!!!!!! Big Ten got 4 teams in top 5 .when the big 10 team have 3 loses they want be saying that. South Caroline earned a playoff birth 9-3 regular season.
PlAyed 8 or 7 rank opp.
Gamecocks!!
Do not count the Gamecocks out!
Just counted to three that is one to many sorry not sorry you are out😂
If they had a good FG kicker they would also maybe be 7-2 even could have beaten Bama because you can call a play for the sideline instead a hailmary.
We didn’t need a Hailmary lanorris just made a bad decision
Assuming we win out. Music city against a terrible Michigan team would be a slap in the face. Bear minimum should be citrus imho.
SC will be there..duhh !!! Anchor Down !!! ⭐️⚓️⭐️
No big 10 team beats top 6 or 7 SEC teams
Could there be a world where A&M wins the SEC and Clemson wins the ACC both with losses to us. That HAS to put us in the conversation right?
Wake Up! The Gamecocks have arrived!
That mattered last year, Florida st and Georgia didn't make it
I don't see how Indiana can be in playoffs. They are undefeated but have played no body so it can't be strength of schedule
Lsu bullshit hurts us the most. 2 bullshit call on interceptions for touchdowns. Late hits!!! Especially the 2nd one. The QB threw a int. And made a move to tackle the returner which made him eligible to be blocked. He was only hit with 2 hands. No shoulder no helmet. Complete bullshit
Guys of course the eye test matters, LSU has the win over SC and the committee put SC one spot ahead of LSU in the rankings. Duh
We are 6-3, not going to the playoffs. IMO
The Ole MIss game was decided on one huge terrible move. The 4th down try inside your 30-yard line allowing Ole Miss an easy path to the first TD was a game changer. Idiotic move at best. That said....the rest of the season was good.
Remember it's crowvember!
It would be 6 straight wins not 3 straight wins
Indiana has yet to play a ranked team. They will get smacked by Ohio State. It’s a shame SEC teams don’t get such an easy schedule
Why would any good player, regardless of remaining eligibility, play in a bowl game? There’s nothing to gain for them, it’s all risk. I think you either play in a playoff game or season over.
How does the #15Gamecocks match up against #13Colo #14Smu #16Byu and #9Pennst, #10NotreDame ? Will they knock #12Clemson out of the top 12 parade Soon? The Pacific Big 10 should be thankful they get 3 teams into the top 12 playoffs !! We need the college 12 playoffs open up and not aligned with a SEC & Pacific Big 10 bracket to the championship, Draw the teams out of a hat in who we play*
the ole miss game was buzzsaw game. I think if Ole Miss beats Kentucky south Carolina beats ole miss instead of Kentucky.
Would need LSU to lose 1 more game. If they go out 9-3 you can't put south carolina over them
go gamecocks
You didn't have a chance against ole miss!
The 4 unbeaten teams are trash and dont actually play anyone
Should have beat Bama
Gamecocks beat clemson they should be in the playoffs
They have three losses they don't deserve to be in with three losses 💯
South Carolina is 8-2
Huh?
What?
Lol. Ikr. That LSU game was ripped away
