Florida Gators vs. South Carolina Gamecocks Free Prediction
The Gators have failed in two tests against a quality opponent and while the Gamecocks could be classified as a quality opponent in my opinion they are not in the same class as the Blue Devils or the Semionoles.Florida is playing very well right now and I believe that going to overtime in their latest will add to their focus for this game.
