Gamecocks join AP Top 25
Steve Spurrier has South Carolina in the Top 25.
The Gamecocks made it to No. 19 in the Associated Press media poll Sunday, the first time they have been in the rankings under their new coach.
South Carolina (7-3) ended a 14-game losing streak to Spurrier’s old school Saturday, beating Florida, 30-22, in Columbia, S.C.
“Well, that’s wonderful,” Spurrier said Sunday when told the Gamecocks broke into the AP rankings. “That was one of the goals, for the team to finish the regular season ranked.”
No. 1 Southern California and No. 2 Texas remained at the top of the poll, as they have been since the preseason.
Miami was No. 3, followed by LSU and Penn State. Each has one loss.
