at Vandy
at Mississippi State
East Carolina
at Kentucky
Texas A&M
Georgia
Open
UMass
Tennessee
Missouri
at Florida
Western Carolina
at Clemson
LOL...East Carolina, UMass and Western Carolina. They certainly don't play like an $EC team but they've clearly started scheduling like one.
Still looks like another 5 - 7 or 6 - 6 season.

Personnel wise I see 4-8 or at best 5-7 unless some of their Home Game opponents have sustained key injuries. WB can be a difficult place to play, but unless their new coach has some how recruited well at the prep and JC levels I do not see USC having the experienced depth to stay with most SEC foes. The absolute best outcome would 6-6.
Go Tigers!

With the release of the 2016 SEC football schedule, Gamecock fans can look ahead to next season before the current one even ends. How do things shape up for South Carolina in 2016?
2016 is going to be a historic year for South Carolina. No matter what their record turns out to be, the Gamecocks will enter next season with a head coach not named Spurrier for the first time since 2004.
No matter who the head man is next season, the Gamecocks now know what their schedule will look like for the 2016 campaign. At first glance the schedule looks like most SEC schedules do: tough. But taking a closer look, if there is such a thing as a "easy" SEC slate, this may just be it.
Opening the season with back to back conference road games is never an easy task, but Vanderbilt will still be looking to find their footing and Mississippi State will be starting a new quarterback with the departure of Dak Prescott.
The Gamecocks will then return home to open the season at Williams Brice against what is always a tough East Carolina opponent. The Pirates currently sit at 4-4 this season but are always a tough matchup. ECU is coming off a season in 2014 where they beat both North Carolina and Virginia Tech and only lost by a touchdown to the Gators in the Swamp this season. While no cake walk, the Gamecocks should presumably be able to handle themselves in the home opener.
South Carolina will then hit the road for the third time in four weeks as they head to Lexington, KY to face the Wildcats. Lexington has not been kind to the Gamecocks in recent years and South Carolina hasn't beaten the Wildcats since 2013. Mark Stoops has Kentucky on the rise and this could yet again be a tough game for South Carolina.
It's after the opening four game stretch that South Carolina could really do some damage. The Gamecocks will play their next five games at home against Texas A&M, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Missouri. While the four conference games will be difficult, the fact that the Gamecocks get each of these opponents at home is a big plus. Assuming the Gamecocks can go 2-1 or 3-0 in their first three conference games and find a way to win three of the four at home, there is no reason to think the Gamecocks couldn't possibly be playing for a trip to Atlanta when they travel to Gainesville to face Florida on November 12.
South Carolina will finish off the 2016 slate with a home game against Western Carolina before travelling to Clemson to face the Tigers on November 26th.
There is no such thing as an easy schedule in the SEC, but things seem to have shaped up nicely for South Carolina with the majority of their toughest opponents coming to Columbia. For whomever takes over as the head coach of the Gamecocks, you have to think they will be happy with what they were given.

True, but just having Clemson there

means they will not have a bottom-feeder OOC schedule, a la NC State, mentioned above.
Speaking of...NC State actually has Notre Dame next year. That will be their toughest OOC game in years.

We are actually the best team they play next year without question. If we beat lsu, then its no question were the best they play this year too. And to think, we are a lowly acc team

They drew a relatively easy SEC schedule next year.

Too bad they won't be good enough to take advantage of it.

I tend to agree....

The few quality players they have left will all be gone after this season so barring an unbelievable recruiting job (ah la buying a recruiting class like Ole Miss did), the next few years could be a little rough.
