How ESPN’s FPI sees the last half of the season going
The bye week came at the right time for South Carolina.
Not only do the Gamecocks have a week to get healthy before a pivotal stretch of games, but the open date also comes right at the midway point of the season.
That gives everyone a chance to take a deep breath and evaluate things exactly halfway through the 2022 season. Here’s a chance to see what’s next on the schedule based on ESPN’s FPI metrics.
The Gamecocks have played six games and won the games they were favored in–Georgia State, Charlotte and South Carolina State–and one game ESPN’s FPI didn’t project the Gamecocks to win.
South Carolina was given a 23.9 percent chance to spring the upset in Lexington, albeit it that was before Will Levis and his injury. Regardless, South Carolina picked up the win and now sits two away from bowl eligibility.
But now, coming up after the bye week, comes the Gamecocks’ three best chances to pick up wins over the back half of the season.
