The Florida Gators lead the all-time series 27-9-3 against their oldest rival, the South Carolina Gamecocks. When these two teams first faced each other in 1911, it was 81 years before the two teams were in the same conference. The Gators are off to their second consecutive 6-1 start and look to take a definitive lead in the SEC East by defeating the team that just beat the presumed East champion.
Florida has the #48 total offense and #20 total defense in the nation. South Carolina has the #71 total offense and #78 total defense in the nation. Florida is ranked #12 by Sagarin, compared to South Carolina's ranking of #28. The Gators should not take South Carolina lightly, but they should be able to cover the spread. I predict a 32-14 victory for the Gators against former Gator head coach, Will Muschamp.
