It is a shame that Florida and South Carolina do not meet until November 14 as the Gamecocks have established themselves as the second-best team in the SEC East and the only team with much of a chance to challenge the Gators for first place. That their match-up will be held late in the year is only a problem if the Gators continue to pull away. To stay one game back in the standings after this weekend South Carolina must travel to red-hot Alabama and win or hope Arkansas stuns Florida in Gainesville. With road games with Tennessee and Arkansas left on their schedule in addition to Alabama, we cannot project the Gamecocks adding any excitement to the East race.
Out West it is hard to imagine Mississippi, one of the nation’s most disappointing teams, reinserting itself into the race to unseat Alabama. The Rebels still have to prove that they are the best squad in their state let alone division. But if they can turn things around the Rebels will have a say about how the race plays out as they travel to Auburn on Halloween and host LSU on November 21. QB Jevan Snead needs to forget about his plummeting NFL draft staus for a moment and do whatever it takes to get the O rolling in the second half of the season. Mississippi hosts UAB this weekend which should allow Snead a chance to fully execute the gameplan one week after the Tide D did its best to prevent that from happening.
