South Carolina came into this week as the #1 team in the SEC Standings. But following a shocking loss to Alabama earlier this week, the Gamecocks have found themselves on the odd end of the tail in a 3 way tie with Kentucky and Florida. The 19th ranked Gamecocks are one of 3 SEC teams that are ranked in the Associated Press Poll this week. A loss in Starkville would ensure that they drop out, so expect the Gamecocks to come out fiery. Meanwhile for Mississippi State the Bulldogs have come off a hard fought loss at Auburn after trailing by as much as 20.
