This is a list of seasons completed by the South Carolina Gamecocks football team of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Since the team's creation in 1892, the Gamecocks have participated in 1,309 officially sanctioned games, including 25 bowl games.[1][2]

The Gamecocks have been a member of several athletic conferences. From 1892 to 1932, South Carolina competed as a football independent. From 1933 through 1952, the Gamecocks were part of the Southern Conference. In 1953, South Carolina became one of the original members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, where it remained through 1970. The Gamecocks competed as an independent again from 1971 to 1991. In 1992, South Carolina joined the Southeastern Conference's East Division, where it won a division title in 2010.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b c The Gamecocks finished the season with an overall record of 5–5 with a mark of 4–2 in conference play, sharing the ACC title with Duke. In July 1966, the ACC ruled that South Carolina had used two ineligible players during the 1965 season and required the Gamecocks to forfeit their four conference victories and share of the conference title. Clemson and NC State, who both lost to South Carolina, had finished tied for third in the ACC with 4–3 records. After the forfeits from South Carolina, Clemson and NC State improved to 5–2 in conference play and were declared ACC co-champions. Duke dropped to third place. NCAA and South Carolina records still reflect the Gamecocks' original win–loss marks prior to the forfeits.
  2. ^ a b c On October 13, 2015, Steve Spurrier officially announced his resignation as head football coach, and co-offensive coordinator Shawn Elliott was named interim head coach for the remaining games of the season.
  3. ^ a b c Muschamp was fired with three games remaining; Mike Bobo finished out the season.
