This time next week, we’ll know for sure what the bowl selections are, so this will be our last projection.  Since it is the last one, we’ll give you two.  We’ll give you one that assumes Auburn wins this week and one that assumes South Carolina wins. Assuming Auburn wins: BCS National Championship: Auburn v. […]

South Carolina traveled to Clemson to play the Tigers and dominated them, as we noted earlier, en route to winning 29-7. 1st Quarter…Clemson won the coin toss and elected to receive.  The Tigers quickly moved the ball down the field and the game looked like it might turn out like many before.  Kyle Parker found DeAndre […]

South Carolina beat Clemson tonight at Memorial Stadium by a humbling score of 29-7.  After Clemson got an early touchdown to go up 7-0, the Gamecocks clamped down on the Tigers and controlled the game. We’ll have much more on this game tomorrow in the field report and in the next few days, but I […]

As much as we write and as much as fans talk, none of that will matter tomorrow night.  Like every game, the Clemson game will come down to the players.  We all study the players and their games and like to think that we can predict something about the way they will play, but there […]

Tonight South Carolina travels to Clemson to play the hated Tigers.  The Gamecocks have split the last two with Clemson in Pickens County but have lost 5 of the last 6 up there.  The Gamecocks won last year by the largest margin since 1975’s 52-20 throttling of the Tigers.  The Gamecocks are trying to win […]

The Mumme poll seems to be down to less than 50 voters which means my vote will have even more sway in determining the standings.  Auburn is still my number one team, and per usual, I have listed the teams alphabetically.  Few of my Top 10 from last week lost, and the also-rans didn’t do […]

Here are this week’s bowl projections from the Leftoverhotdog.com staff with some explanation: BCS National Championship Game: Auburn v Oregon It doesn’t look like either of these teams are going to lose again.  If that’s the case, then no one can jump them, and they will play for it all. Sugar Bowl: LSU v Boise State […]

South Carolina hosted Troy at home and won easily by a score of 69-24. Breaking it Down…1st Quarter…Troy elected to receive the opening kickoff and then proceeded to fumble the return.  South Carolina recovered and handed the ball off to Marcus Lattimore on the first offensive play of the game.  Lattimore ran 17 yards over […]

With three weeks left in the season, the bowl picture is getting clearer.  Here are our projections for the SEC after this weekend’s games. BCS National Championship: Auburn v Oregon Both teams survived scares over the weekend.  They hype surrounding the game will be all about LaMichael James and Cam Newton. Sugar Bowl: LSU v […]

Here’s my Mumme poll ballot for this week.  Auburn remains number one, and the rest are alphabetical. Arkansas Can we learn anything from the dismantling of UTEP?  Nope, nothing at all. Auburn Tigers were able to focus enough to beat Georgia.  Until the Cam Newton investigation is decided one way or another, they are going […]

South Carolina traveled to Gainesville on Saturday night and defeated Florida 36-14. Breaking it Down…1st Quarter…South Carolina won the coin toss and deferred to the second half.  Andre DeBose fielded the kick at the one yard line and returned the ball 99 yards for the touchdown.  Trailing 7-0, USC took over at their own 40 […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that South Carolina plays Florida for the SEC East championship in Gainesville on Saturday.  The general feeling around the conference is that Florida is hitting their stride and playing their best football of the year while South Carolina just played one of its worst games of […]

BCS National Championship – Auburn v Oregon The Tigers and Ducks seem to be on a collision course.  Auburn must get by Alabama, and Oregon must get through Arizona.  If these two teams meet, the winner might be the first one to 40. Sugar Bowl – LSU v TCU This match-up could be the BCS […]

Here is my Mumme Poll Ballot for this week.  It’s getting harder to find teams who are clearly Top Ten.  Let me know what I missed.  Like last week, Auburn is number 1, the rest are listed alphabetically. Auburn Number One team gets up big on an inferior opponent and puts it on cruise control. […]

South Carolina hosted Arkansas on a cold Saturday night and lost 41-20. Breaking it Down…1st Quarter…South Carolina won the toss and elected to receive.  After wasting a timeout and taking a shot downfield, the Gamecocks had to punt.  Arkansas took over at their 41 and quickly moved the ball downfield.  9 plays and 59 yards […]
