The Gamecocks are coming off a 9-4 season and are a trendy pick to finish second in the SEC East behind Georgia — and some even believe the Bulldogs will be upset in Columbia on Sept. 8. The Dash believes it’s more likely that South Carolina is 3-2 or 2-3 leaving September — it won’t beat Georgia, it may be tripped up by dangerous Marshall in a hangover game the next week, and any belief that the Gamecocks can beat Kentucky on Sept. 29 is presumptuous after four straight losses in that series. Florida is the more likely second-place team in the East.
