GilBrandt	16	Great win over a hyped up NCState team. Maybe South Carolina is on the way up again after a tough few years. Also interested to see if NCState lives up to the hype or not.

justsaynotoreddit	21	(+3) NC St was preseason #32 in this model so that's a solid win.

Arsenal7X	22	Might not have been the better team on the field against NCSU but they got the W which is all that matters. Deebo Samuel is a dude.

Mario_Speedwagon	24	Thought they beat a pretty decent NC State team. May be better than I expected.

WhiteBaseCoat	24	Hey - no - stop - hey, just - calm down - just - I can explain - yes, I understand that I literally just learned my lesson for randomly jumping on the Louisville bandwagon, and yes, I realize this puts my SEC quota at 6 and makes it looks like I'm being a conference homer, but seriously, I do think South Carolina is going to exceed expectations like crazy this year. They're pretty talented, they're extremely experienced, their defense is being coached by Will Muschamp, in general it's Muschamp's second year, they just racked up a solid win against NC State, and they've got Jake Bentley throwing to Deebo Samuel - a Muschamp team, but with offense! Can you imagine the possibilities?! South Carolina was actually several spots higher on this list at one point, as I worked on my rankings at three in the morning, slowly appeasing the Gamecocks as if they were a band of South American guerrilla communists whom I was secretly funding with weapons and resources, giving more and more, telling myself that it was what their country needed, even if I didn't agree with their ideals, even if I hated their ideals, eventually spiraling into a cavalcade of self-doubt only to awaken in the cold light of day and pull my hair out at sleep-deprived, militaristic-coup-supporting past me, and promptly - well, look, this metaphor got away from me. Point is, I just said "screw that" and put them at 25. Except that's not where they ended up, because reasons.
beerslingerjay	25	I don't think anyone was expecting such a high-scoring game from USC East and NC State. Despite a crazy showing from Ryan Finley, SCAR found a way to hold them off. And don't look now, but Bentley and Deebo put up some real numbers against what was supposed to be a top-ranked defense. SCAR could be SCAR-y.
Bill3ffinMurray	25	NC State was the favorite, but the Gamecocks came away with the win. Good for Will Muschamp.
