CFN predicts the outcome of the South Carolina vs. Clemson matchup..


They are predicting the top 50 games of this season. Carolina vs. Clemson came in at #41.. As I've said in the past, I don't put much stock into preseason rankings and predictions but if it has to do with Carolina vs. Clemson, it's worth reading. Here's what they had to say about our game:


41. Clemson at South Carolina, Nov. 24

One of the nastiest rivalries that isn't quite on the national radar, Clemson owned the Gamecocks for four years until Steve Spurrier's crew came up with a 31-28 win in Death Valley. Clemson is the better team going into the season, but by late November, this will be the best South Carolina team in years, with an offense that should finally start to hum like Spurrier was hoping it could when he took over. USC will have had two weeks off after a brutal stretch at Tennessee, Arkansas and at home against Florida, while the Tigers won't get a break after a likely pivotal battle with Boston College. The extra rest and time to prepare, along with Jasper Brinkley and the Gamecock linebacking corps slowing down the Tiger ground game, will be enough to pull out a second straight close win.


Predicted score in July: South Carolina 20 ... Clemson 17
