The schedule has turned for these two teams - and so have the results.

South Carolina opened 2-6 because it had the toughest schedule up to that point. But now the Gamecocks sit 4-6 after double-digit victories versus Jacksonville State and Vanderbilt. If the Gamecocks win this game and their finale against Clemson, they'll qualify for a bowl game. So they have motivation.

Kentucky already is bowl eligible thanks to an easy early-season schedule where it went 5-0 being favored by 13 or more points in four of those games. Since then, though, the Wildcats have gone 1-4 SU and ATS.

This spot isn't good either for the Wildcats. They just got beat up by Alabama and have in-state rival Louisville up next.

South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler has played much better at home with 15 TD passes compared to only two TD throws on the road.
