I'm curious as tp how a 12 team playoff would work. Would the top four teams get a bye? Otherwise, it would go 12 to 6 and 6 to 3. The math doesn't work that way.

I guess I'll just go back to the old days and listen on the radio. We subscribe to several streaming services and have cable, but I cannot see subscribing to yet another platform even for one month just to watch one game.

Cautiously Optimistic is the term I use every season since the Spurrier years. Eight wins would be really great. However, as I've stated before seven wins and a bowl win meets my expectations.. If we could somehow beat Clemson I'd be over the moon.

I totally agree. We need to beat UK this year. I think we also need to beat Missouri. I'd be happy with a split with Florida and Tennessee. For me, winning seven games and a bowl is progress. I'm not expecting wins against Georgia, Texas A&M, Clemson or Arkansas, but who knows what will happen.

Is the game with Ga.State going to be televised? I remember last year our first game was only on ESPN+.

I see we were rated at 26th (11th in the SEC). I assume that these ratings do not include transfers through the portal. I think the portal has made recruiting from high schools less of a factor than it was a few years ago. Although, it's a good thing for the Gamecocks now, I'm not so sure it's...

I like him as a wide receiver. He reminds me of Alshon.

The 49ers just beat Dallas to advance in the NFL playoffs. Former Gamecock Deebo Samuel turned in a MVP performance. The end of the game was pretty wild. I think it was the best playoff game so far. On a side note, I thought Tony Romo's obvious bias for the Cowboys was terrible. I know many...

I just saw the OU quarterback Caleb Williams  has entered the portal. This is a shocker. I guess Riley's departure is more of a problem that first thought. Rattler's leaving wasn't that shocking as he didn't want to be a backup, but Williams was going to be the starter. I did see there's a...

I just saw that Dan Reeves has died. I remember seeing him play quarterback for the Gamecocks when I was a teenager. 

Merry Christmas Everyone! While I'm waiting on our six grandkids to decend on us like blitzing linebackers, I have a question. Have the Cocks ever had a five star offensive lineman? Surely, we've had a few. However, I cannot name one. Like a lot of you I believe building an SEC caliber offensive...

Will we get a "signature win" this year and if so who will we beat? Like most of you I suffered through the last two seasons without much about which to be excited. The 2019 win in Athens and last years defeat of Auburn were the only bright spots. As this season progresses I wonder ( and hope)...

Well, Brady and the Bucs just beat the Packers to advance to the Super Bowl. I was really hoping for a Green Bay vs Kansas City match up which would mirror the very first one so many years ago. I actually watched that one on TV in 1967. I guess Brady is the GOAT after all. 

Just heard on Game Day that Texas has parted ways with Tom Herman. It's being reported Alabama OC Steve Sarkisian will become the new head coach. I'm a little surprised they didn't give Herman one more year. So much for coaches on the hot seat being safe during COVID-19. Maybe that rumor about...

For the next twelve hours I'm going to be an Ohioan (if that's a word). I'm pulling for the Bearcats and the Buckeyes. I guess I should support a team from our conference and a team from the state in which I was born. However, I just cannot bring myself to pull for Georgia or Clemson.  Just...

Well, most of us begged for a playoff and now we have one. However, I believe the current CFP has ruined college football. While the BCS wasn't perfect , in hindsight; it may have been better. The CFP has made the bowls (of which there are too many) even less relevant.  Also, we now have the...

Occasionally, I go to the Gamecock Central site. I'm not a member but one can read the Fighting Gamecocks forum comments without paying to join. Man, it's so negative over there.  I'm probably going to avoid ever joining the site. Some posters hate everything. There are a few that are optimistic...

OK, I know this is supposed to be about the Gamecocks, but I've had a couple of beverages and had to post this. I think Devonte Smith should win the Heisman,  I get that it usually goes to a quarterback these days. However, I think he is the best college football player in the country. It's...

Well, it looks like Bama, Clemson and Ohio State are in. While I feel sure the committee will probably pick Notre Dame as #4, I think Texas A&M should get that slot. There are still games to finish but it's all about the money these days. This is another reason an eight team CFP would be...

Nobody knows who our next coach will be. There are at least four or five front runners according to the media and these forums. However, whomever is selected I really hope the new hire will keep Connor Shaw on his staff. Even if he is only an analyst, I think he should be involved in the...
