It’s an indictment on the Will Muschamp era that we’re even talking about the South Carolina win total being at 5.5, but coming off a 4-8 season doesn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence.

The Gamecocks were able to stun Georgia, but they also had to play Alabama, Florida, and Clemson. That doesn’t excuse the losses to North Carolina or Appalachian State – even a 13-1 Appalachian State – but it was still a tough slate.

This year is even more about the games against the haves, and the have-to-wins. There are a slew of rough battles, but …

You want six wins? Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, at Vanderbilt, Wofford. Even if South Carolina stinks, hitting all four against that group can’t be a problem.

Missouri and Tennessee are home games, Kentucky is winnable on the road, and factor in at least one big victory over a Texas A&M at home or even a Florida on the road.

Okay, and that’s the issue. Texas A&M is going to be good, and Florida is going to be great.

LSU is on the slate – that’s in Baton Rouge. Oh, yeah, and Georgia hasn’t left the SEC East, and going on the road at Clemson is going to be super-fun.

The schedule is built for five losses, but you can afford one more and still get the over on the win total. You probably won’t need it.

This will be a good enough Gamecock team to get to seven.
