HOPES FROM PAGE B1

All three playoff contenders are playing at home and are heavy favor- ites. Oddsmakers give Georgia Tech the best shot, installing the Yellow Jackets as 17-point underdogs. Auburn (24½ points) and South Carolina (26½) are even bigger longshots. A look at these three rivalry games and what they could mean to the underdogs: SOUTH CAROLINA (6-4) AT CLEMSON

Just a few years ago, the Game- cocks had the unquestioned upper- hand on the rivalry and in recruiting in the Palmetto State. South Carolina won five straight games over Clemson (11-0, No. 2 CFP) from 2009-13 featuring such standouts and NFL draft picks as defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, cor- nerback Stephon Gilmore and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. But it has been the Tigers who’ve had the upper hand — and in a dominant way — over the past four seasons. The Tigers have won three Atlan- tic Coast Conference titles, played in three College Football Playoffs and won the national championship in 2016 while the Gamecocks program fell apart.

Susan Page USA TODAY

WASHINGTON – Can candidates win while losing? Some of the Democratic stars of the midterms did not prevail in their elections. Beto O’Rourke returned to Washington on Tuesday not as the senator-elect from Texas but as the re- tiring congressman from El Paso. An- drew Gillum officially lost his bid to be Florida governor after a re- count. And Stacey Abrams had hoped to force a runoff with Sec- retary of State Brian Kemp in the Georgia Beto governor’s race but has O’Rourke conceded. Traditionally, a campaign is a zero- sum game. One person wins, the other loses. But in an age of social media, at a time of hunger for authentic voices and amid a wide-open debate about the future message and messengers of the Democratic Party, it’s possible that even a losing candidate could emerge as a rising voice.
