Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina as a member of the East Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Gamecocks played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina, and were led by Shane Beamer in his third year as their head coach.

This is also expected to be the final year for the East division as Texas and Oklahoma will join the SEC in 2024.

In the final year of the SEC East,[1][2] South Carolina finished sixth in their division, with an overall record of 5–7. Quarterback Spencer Rattler had "one of the best quarterback seasons in school history" before declaring for the NFL Draft.[3][4][5]
