South Carolina blew Texas A&M and quarterback Marcel Reed out of the water in the second half in a raucous environment at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia in Week 10, 44-20. The Gamecocks got big performances from quarterback LaNorris Sellers, running back Raheim Sanders, and tight end Joshua Simon.
The South Carolina offense put up over 500 total yards of offense and five touchdowns against a talented Texas A&M defense and first-year head coach Mike Elko this past Saturday.
It will be interesting to see if South Carolina can elevate itself even further into the upper-middle to top tier teams of SEC teams with a win over Vandy on the road in Week 11.

Dart and the Rebels threw the concerns that the media and fans had for the Ole Miss offense aside, torching the Arkansas defense in a 63-31 win on the road in Fayetteville last weekend. Wide receiver Jordan Watkins had a career day, with an insane five receiving touchdowns and 254 receiving yards against a helpless Arkansas secondary.
Ole Miss and head coach Lane Kiffin face arguably their biggest game of the season this week against head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia in Oxford on Nov. 9.

LSU had the bye week last week to rest up and prepare for a massive night game in the SEC at Tiger Stadium on Nov. 9 against Alabama. Head coach Brian Kelly and the Tigers are looking for their second win in two tries over Alabama in Baton Rouge since 2022.

Texas A&M was bounced from the top three after a big road upset loss by over three touchdowns against South Carolina last weekend in Columbia. I don't think this road loss to South Carolina hampers the Aggies' status as an SEC Championship Game and 12-team CFP postseason contender.
This is still a very good Texas A&M squad that looks to be headed in the right direction under Elko in his first year in College Station this fall.
