Serious Question: Will USCe Ever win the SEC?
Jun 10, 2013, 9:30 AM
|
|
The "Golden Years" have netted 1 SEC Championship Appearance where Auburn dropped 66 points on them in which most believe was USC's best season ever. The SEC East is looking up with UGA and UF on the rise again, not to mention the fact that if the SECCG ever presents itself again, you have to deal with the winner of the West, who have won the last 4 championships.
We all know what goes around comes around in the SEC (See Tennessee and Auburn's recent fall from the top). Just asking if you the window will shut on an SEC Championship & BCS Bowl Appearance if they dont get one this year.

According to Lee Corso back when Spurrier first took the job, Corso stated "Spurrier will NEVER win the SEC at SC" and I tend to agree with him, not gonna happen!!!!

I can't see a team from the East winning anytime soon. The West is so strong. (I think Mizzou is east and ATM is west, right?)

If they change the rules for Spurrier, then they might. He only wants games in their division to count - knowing that the East sucks it. So - I guess Spurrier is in the correct division.

Please explain to me how UGA has been "down" the past three years we've beaten them?
To use a Clemson term: they were five yards away from playing for the MNC last year.
To answer the OP question: yes, eventually. This year seems to be the best shot given the talent returning and the schedule.

UGA's conference schedule has been a joke for 2 years
Jun 10, 2013, 11:48 AM
[ in reply to Re: Serious Question: Will USCe Ever win the SEC? ] |
|
The only reason they were in the SECCG was because they didn't play a team worth a crap from the west. Florida gave them that game with a ton of turnovers. They were a solid team and "down" might not be the best term. But give them either Alabama, LSU, Ark, TAMU rather than Ole Miss and Auburn and thats another 2 losses.
If you want to go with "5 yards from the MNC" then we need to also throw in that they were a lucky blocked FG from being blown out.
And really, if UGA won that game, chances are Oregon was going to the BCS championship game. The voters would have manipulated that. You can't lose a game by 35 and still get a shot at a BCS championship when the the other team lost in OT to a top 10.

starting recruit again too. The days of hearing chickentech's name being mentioned as a "contender" for the SEC East and the SEC Championship game are rapidly drawing to a conclusion probably for another long period of time.

Jun 10, 2013, 11:42 AM

But I don't think they will make it ..
Their recruiting this year is tailing off from previous years and their coach ain't getting any younger and it may just start to affect recruiting of it already has not ..

I tend to agree that this is USCe's best chance at winning the SEC.
I suspect after this season that the Ole Ball Coach will soon be heading for the sidelines.

No. They don't recruit at the level necessary to win the SEC. I'll give credit where credit is due with the coaching. Spurrier has found a way to get the most out of his players the past few years, but that can only take you so far.
They routinely recruit behind Bama, LSU, UGA, FL, A&M, and Auburn. Recruiting at 7th best in the SEC won't net you a title.

How can you expect to win a conference when you consistently have a recruiting class ranked in the lower half of the conference?
And really, given recent history, asking if SCAR can win the SEC is the same as asking if they will win the NC.

You're essentially asking if South Carolina is capable of winning a national championship.
I just don't know if we have the resources to overcome the programs ahead of us with more resources.

You can never say never, but if the Gamecocks don't quit finishing middle of the pack in recruiting in the conference, they will continue to finish middle of the pack in the SEC.

Simple answer...
Jun 10, 2013, 7:21 PM
|

No. However, they have a good shot at winning the east this year. I could see them doing what Georgia did the last two years with this schedule. They could lose to UGA in Athens then run the table in the conference. UGA I think, plays at LSU, Florida is a toss up, could stumble somewhere else. If S. Carolina wins the east, I highly doubt they beat Bama or A&M from the west. Florida is slowly becoming Florida again and I believe the Vols have a top 5 class right now. If Georgia, Florida and Tennessee can get back to all being very good each year then the Gamecocks have no chance. Spurrier is there maybe 3 more years and then I see them falling back down to a 7-8 win team each year.

their window is gone. UGA and UF are much better now than 2010, and outside of Clowney they are worse now than they were then IMO

1. Who says the "golden years" are over. 2013 is our highest ever preseason ranking
2. Auburn had 52 points
3. No one says 2010 was our best ever. Sure they won the East, but the 2011 and 2012 were much better teams.

I'm sorry, must have misread the question. Did you seriously just ask if Dirtpecker Technical school of future Lexington County Correctional facility inmates would ever win the SE...
ummm whut???
Once that senile, visor throwing, no class, ball sack of a coach leaves, they will fall back into the SEC basement looking up at real teams like they are accustomed..
Go Tigers!!!
