Will Muschamp’s South Carolina Gamecocks still remain right near the bottom of our SEC Power Rankings, having not moved one spot since last week after not playing.

Of course, their loss to the Georgia Bulldogs looks even worse now considering what just happened, and at the same time, they still have that embarrassing loss to the Kentucky Wildcats.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. This is your typical Will Muschamp-coached team. The Gamecocks have absolutely no offense regardless of if Brandon McIlwain or Perry Orth is starting at quarterback, but their defense is good enough to keep any game interesting.

Still, he doesn’t have the talent he had at Florida, so Muchamp is watching this team remain at the bottom of the SEC. And it’s not about to get much better.

They fortunately get a break at home with the UMAA Minutemen this weekend, but down the road they still have to play the Tennessee Vols, the Florida Gators, and the Clemson Tigers.

That’s probably a guaranteed seven losses, while the Western Carolina Catamounts are one guaranteed win. Then they have the Missouri Tigers to determine if they’ll be a 4-8 team or a 5-7 team. But after losing to Kentucky a few weeks ago, a bowl bid is probably out of the question.
