South Carolina Football: Gamecocks snubbed in USAToday preseason Coaches Poll

A common refrain of the 2023 offseason has been that Shane Beamer’s South Carolina football team has outperformed expectations in each of Beamer’s first two years at the helm.

Heading into 2021, some over/under betting lines for the Gamecocks sat as low as 3.5 wins, and Carolina won 7. Heading into 2022, some were as low as 5.5, and the ‘Cocks won 8 games.

South Carolina football fans are hoping for their favorite team to beat the odds yet again in 2023. While some analysts are bullish on the Gamecocks and are predicting 8 or 9 wins for USC in 2023, most have aligned themselves closer to the betting lines where Carolina has typically been sitting at 6 or 6.
