No the South Carolina Gamecocks are not good. No, they did not find themselves under Jake Bentley. And no, Will Muschamp still hasn’t proven anything.

We found out this past Saturday that the previous two games were complete flukes. One of them was against one of the worst teams in the SEC. The other was against a Tennessee football team that embarrassingly forgot to show up to play.

After Saturday’s loss to the Florida Gators, we’ve dropped this team right back down to the bottom of the conference. The offense woke up and began to look like a Muschamp offense once again.

Meanwhile, the defense, while getting stops and turnovers, was not able to keep a backup quarterback from moving the ball down the field. So this is still a bad team in the SEC East that belongs near the bottom of our SEC Power Rankings.

However, despite all of that, this team is still likely going to make it to a bowl game. That fluke win over the Vols saved them with the Western Carolina Catamounts up next on their schedule. Then, they have a real chance to put a cherry on top of Muschamp’s first season and build momentum against the Clemson Tigers.
