Welcome to week two of South Carolina's three-week anxiety series: last week saw the Gamecocks lose a late lead to Texas A&M and today they'll face the Arkansas Razorbacks in a game with major postseason implications.
That sounds like a silly thing to say in week six, but not when you look down the road at the respective schedules of these two schools.
If you trust Bill Connelly's metrics, and I do, this game is pivotal in the march to six wins for both of these teams. Arkansas still has to play Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss and Mississippi State — essentially the entire SEC West.
