As many of you have already heard, the South Carolina Gamecocks will be adding two new opponents to their SEC only schedule this year: the Auburn Tigers and the Ole Miss Rebels.
If that wasn’t a large enough hammer to drop, the university decided to break the news on social media in one of the greatest ways possible.
Before the release, I wondered how the SEC was going to decide each team’s new additions. I felt like the easy route would have been simply adding the next two teams on each team’s out of division cycle, which SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum previously reported from an SEC source but later rebuked.
