The situation makes it, in my mind, impossible to like either side. South Carolina is coming off a massive upset of Georgia. Riding an emotional high, the Gamecocks are primed for a letdown performance.
On the other side, the Gators are coming off two massive games against high-profile SEC teams. Both games were physical and emotionally intense. Now it will be hard for the Gators to be excited about playing South Carolina.
Plus, they have a bye week upcoming.
To add to the story, the early kickoff time promises to further limit the excitement factor.
