Lots of good opinions from other fan bases in that article as well.
I think beating Texas A&M after their stiff showing with Alabama and the fact that they beat Arkansas is still a stretch. There is a good chance that they'll beat up on us. Overall, Mizzou and Vandy are only two wins that I predict we can optimistically bank on.
Other than that... we may get lucky with A&M, Florida, Clemson **OR** Tennessee, but pulling one game out of that hat would probably be par for the course. One of them will have a bad day... and hopefully we won't shoot ourselves in the foot and come out with a steal. If we win two, then we're going to get a lot of attention...

Gamecocks, three best chances to pick up wins over the back half of the season.
South Carolina has a better than 60 percent chance to beat both Missouri and Vanderbilt with just under a 45 percent chance to take out Texas A&M for the first time in program history.
The Gamecocks have a 44.5 percent chance to beat the Aggies. That’s a number that’s slightly increased as the season’s progressed.
The Gamecocks have a 44.5 percent chance to beat the Aggies. That’s a number that’s slightly increased as the season’s progressed. South Carolina is coming off its best win of the year. The Aggies have struggled offensively and cycled between a couple of quarterbacks.
The FPI gives the Gamecocks a 64.2 chance to beat Missouri at home at the end of October. South Carolina hasn’t beaten Missouri since 2018, the rain game. Missouri’s also struggled some this year. But the Tigers are coming off back-to-back losses against Georgia and Florida with each game decided by a score.
The best chance at a win for the remainder of the season is at Vanderbilt the following week. ESPN’s FPI has South Carolina as a 68.5 percent favorite to win that game in Nashville at the beginning of October.
Good chance at 7-5 and a possible 8th win. but that's with lucky bounces going your way. No 9 or 10 wins here.
