[South Carolina 2024 schedule]
RJ’s take: The 2024 South Carolina football predictions place the Gamecocks at a ranking of 61 out of 134 teams, reflecting a challenging season ahead. Coach Shane Beamer has shown promise during his tenure, with a notable 8-5 record in his second year, including a state championship victory over Clemson. However, the 2023 season ended with a disappointing 5-7 record. Despite this setback, the team returns 15 experienced starters, which could provide a foundation for improvement. Yet, the Gamecocks face a formidable schedule in the SEC, being underdogs in nine of their twelve games, including matchups against heavyweights like Oklahoma, Alabama, Ole Miss, and LSU.
South Carolina’s Win Total Odds: Over 5.5 (-115) Under 5.5 (-105)
