The South Carolina Gamecocks play host to Georgia this afternoon, marking one of the premier matchups of the day. 

Both teams will be without several impact players, including some late surprise additions. Georgia had two impact players stay in Athens, which was a bit of a surprise to fans around the country.

Head coach Kirby Smart's program is coming off a national title win, something they hadn't done in forty-one years. Meanwhile, South Carolina is amidst a roster overhaul spearheaded by head coach Shane Beamer. The two squads carry some of the most unique rosters in college, and it should be an entertaining matchup.
