4. vs. South Carolina Gamecocks

The last game of the regular season, like every year, is the annual in-state rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina.

The Tigers are going for win No. 5 in a row at home.

South Carolina has some solid players in the skill positions for Jake Bentley to throw to. Deebo Samuel will return for the Gamecocks after suffering a season-ending injury last year.

The Gamecocks have a chance, in my opinion, to finish second in the SEC East. They’ve certainly improved under Will Muschamp, but not to the point where they can compete with Clemson.

I think the Tigers, who will be extremely focused, will take care of business at home.
