College football 2020: Week 5 games with biggest playoff implications
5. South Carolina at No. 3 Florida
The Gators looked like they might be the favorites in the SEC East after an explosive win against Ole Miss last Saturday. The offense was next to unstoppable, with quarterback Kyle Trask throwing for six touchdowns, with four of them being to matchup nightmare tight end Kyle Pitts.
South Carolina is coming off of a heartbreaking loss to Tennessee last Saturday, in which a special teams error cost the Gamecocks a chance to pull the upset. The South Carolina offense could not get things going consistently enough and that also played a role in the loss.
This game is on the list because like Oklahoma and Kansas State last week, this could be a bit of trap game for the Gators. Florida has huge games against Texas A&M and LSU in the next few weeks and they don’t need to get caught looking ahead and South Carolina is more talented than you think.
The Gators defense looked lost at times last week and that might be something that South Carolina could take advantage of.
