Yes, this one’s in the books. Spencer Rattler feasted on the volunteer defense.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:46 PM ^
Giving up 63 points it would appear that they were only able to get maybe 8 or 9 to "volunteer" to play defense. 😏
November 20th, 2022 at 12:04 AM ^
I didn't know their mascot was a dog.
November 20th, 2022 at 8:47 AM ^
After watching them 'play' defense, I'm pretty sure it was less than 8 or 9...
November 19th, 2022 at 10:38 PM ^
i want SC to win by 30 for all the bitchy whiny vols fans when Charles won the Heisman over Peyton. would be great if another Wolverine beat a Vol for a Heisman in 2022
November 19th, 2022 at 10:39 PM ^
Joe Milton sighting!!!!
November 19th, 2022 at 11:15 PM ^
Looks like he hasn't changed. He threw a beautiful 70-yard bomb to an open receiver. Then rocketed off three 100 mph perfect spirals about ten feet above receivers' heads. A heroic grab saved a touchdown.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:39 PM ^
Yay? We want USC to lose too right? Idk what our rooting interests are
November 19th, 2022 at 10:45 PM ^
Yes. If Tennessee and USC lose at any time before the final selections they're out. The only two loss team left with viability is LSU if they win the SEC CG.
Looks like Tennessee is going to lose so there is one so out. USC is starting to pull away but a lot of game left.
Beyond that, a TCU loss likely eliminates them as well.
So, ideally you want Tenn, USC, TCU & LSU to drop another game in these final few. If that happens UM is in no matter what happens vs OSU. That said, UM will get the least amount of respect for a one-loss (maybe less than TCU) so IF Michigan loses next weekend they want it to be close.

Shirley, you can't be serious
November 19th, 2022 at 10:39 PM ^
What a game by South Carolina!!!
November 19th, 2022 at 10:41 PM ^
what a grab. definition of high point reception up the sideline
November 19th, 2022 at 10:41 PM ^
South Carolina is playing out of their minds!
November 19th, 2022 at 10:48 PM ^
Or Tennessee has a really shitty defense
November 19th, 2022 at 10:52 PM ^
It's the SEC. They just wanted to give up 63 more.
November 20th, 2022 at 7:51 AM ^
Can't both be true. It's not like South Carolina is an offensive powerhouse. I don't think it's unrealistic to say that they are playing their best game of the season.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:42 PM ^
So happy that we will be done with the , will Tennesee be in the playoff talk .
Lets hope SC can do the same thing to Clemson next week .
November 19th, 2022 at 10:43 PM ^
No matter how much slappies shill for SEC, the SEC does not deserve 2 teams in final 4 this year.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:43 PM ^
I’d really not want to see usc in the rose bowl
November 19th, 2022 at 10:48 PM ^
Seriously, Caleb Williams has a lot of Pat Mahomes in him, and Lincoln Riley offenses are just about the best there is in college football on a year to year basis.
Do. Not. Want.
November 20th, 2022 at 7:53 AM ^
I think our D is much better than UCLA. But yeah, he threw for 500 yards because he’s pretty good and his receivers were making Sunday catches. I remember the early/mid 2000 USC teams and our games against them and I expect we’d have the same problems we had then.
November 20th, 2022 at 8:01 AM ^
Anybody who thinks Michigan would steamroll USC in the Rose Bowl because “we’re more physical” is an idiot.
November 20th, 2022 at 8:52 AM ^
Agreed. I'm sure those people were out in force after the '06 season. We know happened afterward.
November 20th, 2022 at 8:54 AM ^
There'd be no steamrolling either way. UCLA is not at Michigan's level for either defense or running. As good as ZC is, DTR is the feature. And Michigan's would be the best defense either team has seen this year - by two miles. It would also be the best rushing attack they've seen all year. Utah put the stops to SC, and I suspect Oregon will slow them up pretty good, too.
It would be a fun game to watch, but I think Michigan would have the upper hand. Defensively, the teams aren't close. And Michigan would be able to move the ball pretty well, considering what UCLA did last night.
But now way would it be easy!
November 20th, 2022 at 10:11 AM ^
What do you mean Utah put the stops to SC? USC had 42 points and 550 yrs of offense.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:43 PM ^
They might lose, but Tennessee will still be “Champions of Life”
November 19th, 2022 at 10:46 PM ^
Playoffs looking like Georgia, OSU/Michigan, TCU, USC.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:49 PM ^
USC = U South Carolina, right? They killed Tennessee, and the SEC is superior to other earthlings.
Both osu and Michigan might go, unless we annihilate thek again.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:50 PM ^
I was thinking the other USC but sure, why not. It. Just. Means. More.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:55 PM ^
I highly doubt USC wins their next three games. I think the most likely scenario is Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, and TCU; obviously LSU and Clemson have decent to good chances if they win out
November 19th, 2022 at 10:56 PM ^
💪🏽
Solid take
November 19th, 2022 at 10:57 PM ^
How about Georgia, UM, OSU and either TCU or USC? I can’t see USC running the table and TCU feels like their luck will run out
November 19th, 2022 at 11:06 PM ^
I could see TCU losing in the Big 12 Championship...I can't see them losing next week to Iowa State, though anything is possible. When you look around though, if USC loses one more game, LSU loses one more, Clemson loses one more and if TCU goes 12-1 I don't think that's enough to keep them out. Who replaces them? Bama?
^ obviously the above is a lot of assumptions and I would guess the stats of everything above happening being a coin flip or lower probability, but think about it...the number of teams competing for a spot are dropping like flies
November 20th, 2022 at 9:14 AM ^
LSU has UGA in the SEC Championship Game - win that and they'd deserve to get solid consideration as the first 2-loss team in playoff history. (Ugh, makes me vomit in my mouth a little giving Crawdad Kelly that thought...) Not likely, but they've turned it up the last few weeks - this ain't the team that lost to FSU.
USC has ND next week and then Oregon in the PAC12 CG. ND can be tough when they come to play. And they will against long-time crush USC. Don't think it'll happen, though, ND doesn't have the offense to keep up with SC. Oregon, though... Toss the coin up and settle in for that one, it's gonna be a barn-burner!
Clemson has SCar next week at home (I think), but SCar will be coming off the UTenn high and hungover from the moonshine consumed at last night's frat parties. It's NC that will/can/hopefully does deliver the death blow to the biggest fraud in the Top 10. Pretty sure they got caught looking ahead like every other top team did last night against GT, except they aren't good enough to get through it unscathed. But they can absolutely beat Clemson.
TCU will win out. Another come from behind in the BIG12 CG, but otherwise... They'll get exposed by whoever they play in the playoffs because defense both for and against.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:53 PM ^
"overrated" chant. nice.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:53 PM ^
The SC game plan on defense was exactly like ours should be against OSU. Give them all the underneath stuff. Force them to drive the length of the field. Then ideally get them to kick field goals if you can. But without their big plays (they did get a couple), Tenn struggled to keep up.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:54 PM ^
it's over.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:54 PM ^
"OVERRATED” chants rain down from the SC fans.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:56 PM ^
they gave up 63; got to drop like a stone. Shoudl also start to color the reality of the SEC this year. GA is dominant, but the second tier all have real flaws. This should not be a two-SEC team playoff year.
November 19th, 2022 at 11:22 PM ^
Gary Danielson thinks TN and AL still can make it in.
November 20th, 2022 at 5:33 AM ^
Sorry but He's full of shit. It starting to look like the loser of the UM vs OSU game may still make it in. Especially if KSU defeats TCU in the Big 12 championship game and USC loses to ND.
November 20th, 2022 at 9:16 AM ^
It would have to be a close, competitive game, though. A blowout either way is not going to work...
November 20th, 2022 at 12:35 AM ^
Apparently, South Carolina's 63 points is the most by an unranked team against a Top 5 opponent in almost 100 years.
November 20th, 2022 at 8:38 AM ^
It was an upset with the Vol losing 63-38 to the Gamecocks. I never bought into the UT hype because they don't play defense. 247 sports projects them falling to 9th in the AP rankings. They have Michigan slipping to 4th. Well, TCU also won in a squeaker with no time time remaining to kick a FG. USC is projected 5th and they gave to 45 pts to UCLA in their win last night.
The 247 rankings are only a projection.
November 20th, 2022 at 9:18 AM ^
I don't see any change in the top 5 except for USC moving in. The four undefeated teams are all still undefeated, and everyone had a tough game.
