South Carolina Form

The Gamecocks opened with a win but then dropped back-to-back games against ranked teams, losing 44-30 to #16 Arkansas and 48-7 to #1 Georgia.

They rebounded to win the next four games though – a run that included a 24-14 victory against #13 Kentucky.

That sequence moved South Carolina into the top 25, but they then lost two of their next three games to fall back out of it.

The Gamecocks made a last ditch charge back into the rankings though, courtesy of wins against two top-10 teams.

They stunned #5 Tennessee 63-38 on the road before ending #7 Clemson’s long-running home win streak with a 31-30 victory.

The Fighting Irish started the season ranked into the top 10 but plummeted out of the rankings with back-to-back losses.

They were beaten 21-10 at #2 Ohio State before returning home for a 26-21 upset defeat to Marshall.

Notre Dame rebounded to win their next three, but a 28-20 win against #16 BYU was followed by a 16-14 loss to Stanford.

Again the Fighting Irish bounced back, this time going on a five-game win streak that included wins over ranked teams.

They beat #16 Syracuse 41-24 on the road before downing #5 Clemson 35-14 at home.
