USC begins November as a ranked football team as the Gamecocks check in at #23 in this week’s AP poll

Following an impressive win at Oklahoma on Saturday, South Carolina football finds itself back in the “Top 25.” On Sunday, the Gamecocks were tabbed #23 in the AP rankings while just missing out of the coaches poll.

Miami and Georgia are 1-2 in both polls with Utah, Notre Dame, and UCLA rounding out the “Top 5.” The coaches have Indiana, Utah, and UCLA in their “Top 5.” The Hurricanes and Notre Dame will meet up in South Bend for the marquee matchup of the weekend.
