The three-loss SEC team’s playoff hopes are in jeopardy even as Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama dreams are dashed

Looks like Shane Beamer brought full glory to the South Carolina Gamecocks. The program’s curve has only gone up this season. After all, nine wins for the Gamecocks is no joke! This season marked the third time in their school history that they had nine wins. Did they even imagine hitting? Kalen DeBoers Alabama Crimson Tide? Maybe not even in their wildest dreams! But the fault lies in their stars. Even making life difficult for Bama didn’t clear the path to the playoffs. With the CFB analyst emphasizing that Beamer’s team’s playoff dreams were in jeopardy, the HC should have gone into complete panic. But perhaps for Beamer, “silence is golden.”

Currently, the College Football Playoff Committee is grappling with the daunting challenge of bringing together the top 12 programs. And it’s definitely not an easy task. But for the otherwise weak Beamer and his boys, things looked positive for a change. However, this season had to be different after they defeated the Old Dominion Monarchs 23-19. A year ago, their offensive line was in terrible shape, and looking at it now, they have added a oomph factor to their game to continue the legacy of the legendary RB Raheim “Rocket” Sanders. And how to forget your star QB LaNorris Salesman Who went 21-for-30 passing for 353 yards, five touchdowns and one interception against Missouri? So on the On3 Podcast, analyst Aaron Murray had to say “I love South Carolina.” But mind you, as loving as it may sound, there was a clause.

Remember when Beamer’s South Carolina went head-to-head with DeBoer’s Army? Yes, the Crimson Tide narrowly won 27-25. This may have been the turning point in the Gamecocks coming across as a warning to programs that had taken them lightly. But now Murray believes their doors are closed for the playoffs, “Do I think they’ll make the playoffs? Probably not. They know what they did in Tuscaloosa and they lost a close game that they should have won… They can use that as an excuse for them to overtake Alabama. I don’t think you can excuse them attacking Ole Miss.”

That’s because Alabama gave them a chance to use Sellers’ fumble as an excuse to lose and qualify over the Crimson Tide. But Ole Miss had put an end to all their hopes as defeating the Rebels seemed like an impossible task as they crushed Beamer’s Army 27-3. Looks like it is FOX Sports The analyst agrees with Murray.

How Shane Beamer is keeping playoff excitement in check

It will be an impossible task to get past No. 13 Alabama and No. 14 Ole Miss and get into the playoffs, even if South Carolina is ranked 15th. That’s what Joel Klatt believes. The analyst did a reality check for Beamer. “You can’t get past these teams. So do I think South Carolina actually has a path (to the playoffs)? No, I wouldn’t even call it tight. I don’t think they have a way.”

On the contrary, he seemed hopeful for DeBoer’s army Lane Kiffins Program, “Bama and Ole Miss do (have a path to the playoffs). I think it’s narrow. But I think there is a way.” Yes, we know the Gamecocks’ resume looks strong as their losses are quality. But mind you: defeats against the two teams directly in front of them do not bode well. Surprisingly, Beamer has stayed away from all these calculations.

Instead, he keeps his lips tightly closed! When asked about his playoff plans, the HC replied: “We don’t talk about it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go out and play well on Saturday.” Yes, that’s how focused the HC is before its big duel against Clemson and fends off all the bad juju.
