Absolutely.
Furthermore, I'll bet the SEC office has a bit of a quandary and HAS to do this. Right now, LSU is certainly still in the running for the SEC and national titles. Oh, and they've already had ONE game cancelled earlier due to lightning that will not be made up. Since that was McNeese it doesn't really hurt LSU.
Of course - and I'm only speaking from that particular standpoint - if we were in the BCS days this would be a bigger problem as far as SOS goes. There was a game in 2001 cancelled because of 9/11 (I want to say it was Colorado and Wash St). That game actually wound up putting Nebraska in the national title game because of the whole SOS component. If Colorado had played that game and won, it would have lifted their SOS enough to put the two-loss Buffs into the title game; if they had lost, since WSU was 10-2 that year (and Oregon beat them, 24-17), it would have put Oregon in the title game against Miami.
And while this doesn't help the state of South Carolina themselves at this time, it might well be a good distraction at least for the players involved.
I have at least one guy from my senior class who has lost his home to the flooding.
Btw, here's one for you (admittedly I'm stupid). Clemson is still hosting Ga Tech this weekend, so I assume this means that area of SC is okay. Why couldn't LSU and S Carolina play a 'double header' in the same stadium? OK, might be a logistical nightmare, I get that.
Why not play it on Sunday?
There IS a bottom line here, though - with all at stake in the SECCG, the game HAS to be played simply to ensure fairness. I don't think SC has a prayer of winning but then again upsets are pretty commonplace esp in the SEC.
And btw - if SC had an open date on October 31, the game would probably be played then and I can only imagine the screaming from LSU about how unfair that would be because Alabama had an off week.
