South Carolina vs Oklahoma Prediction
South Carolina comes into this matchup after two huge wins over Tennessee and Florida, and they allowed just 24 and 19 points in those two victories. Oklahoma has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but they have been full of disappointment this season. The Sooners have a very low scoring offense, but their defense is pretty solid. I think points are going to be at a premium in this one, so I like the under here.
