20. South Carolina Gamecocks

Previous Ranking: Not Rated

Record: 8-0

Wins over Michigan and Syracuse have vaulted the Gamecocks into the conversation to be the SEC’s second-best team. They have a critical stretch against Seton Hall, Clemson and Memphis that could really demonstrate this team’s staying power.

Sindarius Thornwell was keying the SC attack, but the team will have to push forward through a suspension. Without him the Gamecocks need P.J. Dozier, Duane Notice, Maik Kotsar and Chris Silva to shoulder the scoring load for the rest of their non-conference run. Keep a particular eye on Notice, who blew up for 27 points over Florida International.
