Where South Carolina football stands in the latest Top 25 polls

At this point in the season, there’s only one poll that truly matters. It is the College Football Playoff rankings — which are released every Tuesday — that determine what programs get into the field of 12. Still, other polls are a good barometer of how teams are viewed on a week-to-week basis. And, well, Gamecocks (6-3, 4-3 SEC) will get a bump after their 17-9 win over Texas A&M on Saturday night. After being unranked in the USA Today Coaches Poll last week, the Gamecocks jumped into the rankings for the first time this season, coming in at No. 24. South Carolina also moved up in the AP poll , vaulting up three spots to No. 20. The Gamecocks were ranked No. 21 in the opening CFP rankings last week. One thing to note: In last Tuesday’s College Football Playoff rankings, South Carolina was the highest-ranked three-loss team in America. That will likely change this week. In the AP poll, for example, Oregon (No. 18 // 6-3) and Ole Miss (No. 19 // 6-3) were ranked ahead of the Gamecocks, while fellow three-loss teams Ohio State (No. 21) and LSU (No. 24) were right behind them.

"Wasn't the Gamecocks Standard": South Carolina Guard Jordan Lee Reveals How Season-Opener Struggles Fueled Win Over UNC

South Carolina nearly squandered a 31-point lead before holding on for a 101-93 win over Maryland in their Paris opener. While the Gamecocks dominated early, a sudden second-half collapse almost cost them the game. For guard Jordan Lee, that late-game slip left something feeling completely off. Lee’s frustration targeted that second-half letdown specifically, where Maryland outscored South Carolina by 20, rather than the team’s overall opening victory. That performance gave the Gamecocks all the motivation they needed heading into their matchup against UNC. “Putting two halves together again w...
