Seeing all these crazy transfer portal stories makes me only appreciate the @GamecockFB trio of LaNorris Sellers, Dylan Stewart and Nyck Harbor even more.

LOVE that mindset from those guys.

Needs to be celebrated more in the sport.

That first half made me feel things I was hoping to feel all year

Worth mentioning again

My eye test still tells me South Carolina is highly capable of beating any team I watched today.

[Brad Crawford @BCrawford247]

If names were reversed & Alabama hadn’t lost since Oct. 12 to South Carolina, Alabama would undoubtedly get the nod with an unrelenting national surge of positivity.

2 losses by South Carolina in November would’ve been the signed, sealed and delivered data point from the selection committee.

I keep hearing: “South Carolina lost to Alabama and Ole Miss — how could they get in the playoff over them?”

Here’s the deal: Head-to-head only matters when all else is equal. If one team has a clearly better resume, head-to-head is irrelevant.

It’s the same reason NIU doesn’t make the playoff for beating Notre Dame.

South Carolina’s resume is far and away better than Alabama’s or Ole Miss’s:

• 6-game win streak
• 4 wins over Top 25 teams

Don’t tell me head-to-head matters when:
• The committee ranked Alabama over Tennessee (despite Alabama losing to them).
• South Carolina over LSU (despite South Carolina losing to them).

The numbers don’t lie:
• Oklahoma went 2-6 in the SEC (avg. loss by 17.6 PPG).
• Vandy went 3-5 in the SEC (avg. loss by 8.5 PPG).

Alabama lost to both on the road.

South Carolina beat both on the road by 26 and 21 points.

SC’s resume:
• One bad game all year.
• Lost their QB in the 2nd half of a 3-point loss to LSU.
• Nearly won as 3-TD underdogs at Alabama.

Combined record of SC’s losses: 26-10
Combined record of Alabama’s losses: 22-14

It’s simple:
• SC is on a roll (6 straight wins).
• They’ve beaten more ranked teams.
• Their losses are better quality.

It’s down to SC vs. Bama for the final playoff spot.

The committee’s choice: brand vs. deserving.

This call should not keep South Carolina out of the Playoff

LET EM KNOW!

[Brad Crawford @BCrawford247]

Hottest team in the country with the hottest player in the country.

It should be easy on the CFB Playoff selection committee.

Performance of the year has down in Clemson, SC today.

South Carolina is making the playoffs.

OMG.

[RocketSanders 🚀 @raheim_sanders]

ALL GLORY TO THE MOST HIGHEST 🙏🏾🤲🏾

[Brad Crawford @BCrawford247]

Since the start of the 2022 season, Shane Beamer has six wins over Top 25 teams at South Carolina.

That's more than ...

Ryan Day (5)
Lane Kiffin (5)
Brian Kelly (4)
Lincoln Riley (4)
James Franklin (3)
Mike Norvell (3)

The Pentagon: We don’t know where $2.3 trillion went.

The White House: We don’t know where $6.2 billion went.

The U.S. Navy: We don’t know where an F-35 fighter jet went.

The IRS: We know where that $601 went, report it if you don’t want to end in jail.
