Steve Spurrier is one of the fiercest competitors around and he showed it again Friday when he said in the wake of South Carolina's heart-breaking 24-17 loss to Auburn that Gamecock fans shouldn't applaud the team when it trots off the field after a loss, especially one where USC had plenty of chances to make a play.Are the Cocks turned around? We shall see when the Cocks play Kentucky next week. If they don't win, they could easily lose 6 out of 7 of their next games. 4 of them are almost a guaranteed loss, probably 5 if you have watched Vandy play this year.
And the Tigers? Not satisfied, they have learned their lesson and will not have a repeat of playing down to a lesser teams level as Auburn did Thursday night. Tommy and the coaching staff are pushing the players harder and harder every week as they did in preparation for the North Carolina game and it showed. It is very likely the Tigers will win out and have a top five finish in the polls this year.
Additionally, the SEC is not as strong as once believed. Watch out folks, the ACC is going to prove it in the upcoming weeks, you cannot escape the truth when the two conferences meet up. The ACC is getting better every week. FSU put up 55 points this past weekend, think it doesn't matter? We shall see.
