American college football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2025 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Gamecocks played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium located in Columbia, South Carolina, and were led by Shane Beamer, who was in his fifth year as their head coach. The Gamecocks received their first preseason ranking since the 2014 football season. After defeating Virginia Tech in their season opener, South Carolina rose to the top 10 of the AP poll for the first time since 2014. However, after starting 2–0, the team would lose seven of its next eight games, falling out of the top 25 and guaranteeing a losing season.
