Projection: likely out

South Carolina’s profile reads like a team that has taken care of the expected wins against lower-tier opponents at home and shown it can hang with better teams in neutral-site matchups against Butler and Northwestern and in a tight game with Virginia Tech, yet it lacks a genuine signature victory to quiet doubts; neutral losses and the absence of road or neutral wins over established high-level opponents leave the resume light on the kind of quality wins selection committees prize, while the remaining schedule offers a handful of straightforward home games to keep the record tidy but only a few realistic chances to beat the league’s better clubs at home and very few clear opportunities on the road at places such as Clemson, LSU, Arkansas, Auburn, Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi to change the narrative.
