South Carolina’s once promising hopes for the 2025 college football season have long dwindled. After going 9–4 a year ago and beginning the year ranked No. 13 in the AP Top 25, the Gamecocks find themselves on a five-game losing streak and in the cellar of the SEC standings.
South Carolina has proven unable to keep up with an incredibly competitive SEC this season. They came close to earning just their second conference victory against Texas A&M on Saturday, but blew a 30–3 halftime lead and fell to the Aggies 31–30. The Gamecocks sit at just 3–7, and no longer even have hope for a bowl game appearance.
