Over the past twelve months, I've grown to appreciate the in-state rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina even more. Being around Williams Brice for the Kentucky game on a Thursday night along with feeling the atmosphere before the Florida game enhanced my appreciation a lot for the folks down in Columbia.
However, our latest fan poll has been split about 50/50 to who would have more wins this season, Clemson or USC. At the time of this report it is 53/47 in favor of Clemson. In my opinion, this is still too close.
Too many Gamecock fans didn't want to see Clemson win this poll because in their minds it equated to Clemson having a better season. This is simply not the case. Clemson could go 9-3 this upcoming season and that would be an absolute disaster in Tigertown if that record didn't include a trip to Tampa in December. However, on the same note Carolina could end the season at 8-4 and all would be merry in Columbia.
So when you really think about it, given the SEC schedule USC has to deal with, and the cakewalk Clemson has in the ACC, could anyone look themselves in the mirror after saying South Carolina will have more wins than Clemson this year?

Test 1
No,it should be pass the garnet kool-aid cause it's gotta be loaded w/ alcohol.Mike Davis+Brian Maddox+a weak O-Line=pressure for an inexperienced QB.This will translate into lots of 3 and outs,weakening a very strong defense.I give the shamecocks 7 wins max because of strong coaching and good pay calling.
