LSU (6) – 8% chance to win

The Gamecocks will travel to Baton Rouge to take on the defending national champion Tigers on Nov. 14.  LSU saw a record number of players drafted in April, starting with No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow.  There will certainly be voids to fill but the Tigers are loaded with talent, and should remain a contender in the SEC West.  The last time these two teams met was the year of the South Carolina floods in ‘15.  Originally scheduled to take place in Columbia, the game was moved to Death Valley and ended in a 45-24 Gamecock defeat.  It would be legendary coach Steve Spurrier’s last game.  South Carolina will look to play well in one of the toughest environments in the nation and escape with their first win over the Tigers since ‘94.
