Is South Carolina regularly beating opponents they shouldn't?  I'm not trying to be snarky, I genuinely don't know because I've never followed SEC football that closely.


Iit's 83,000 fans whether they stink or not.

Realizing OU never had to play in DKR and the Horns didn't have to play in Norman, what's the toughest annual venue the newbs had to face? 

There's probably 8-10 tougher places they'll have to play in now.

kstate?

A hostile stadium is a thing even if the visiting team wins there on occasion or even fairly often.  I recall ftbobs once ran a calculation however that said the SEC had the LOWEST home field advantage of any of the P5 leagues.  My "explanation" was that teams get used to the high noise levels and it matters less, even if it means more.

There are a lot more loud venues in the SEC than Texas/OU had in the past.  I don't think it will be some massive factor.  It MIGHT be a thing in year one, but they dodge most of the louder places other than A&M, which they are somewhat used to.

Arkansas is not known for being that loud.  Vandy will only be loud due to Texas fans.  They only have three SEC road games!!!

They should win all three handily.



i think the larger proportion of big boys has something to do with it too. there are more haves than other leagues who aren't afraid to play anywhere.

I've been to Tennessee once, UGA took an early lead and the crowd was out of it, then the Vols came back and it was too loud to scream anything in my wife's ear.

Sanford Stadium has upped their capacity to 93,033 ... from 92,276, so that should make a difference ...

I'm still getting used to South Carolina being in the SEC.  And when did Tulane drop out anyway?  I missed that.
