Nov. 10, 2013

The University of South Carolina football team climbed two spots in the Associated Press poll to No. 11 and three spots in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll to No. 12, as both national polls were released this afternoon.

The Gamecocks climbed two spots to No. 10 in the BCS Standings released Sunday night. It’s the first time this season that Carolina has broken into the top 10 in the BCS Standings.

The Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2 SEC) enjoyed a bye week this past week. They will host the Florida Gators (4-5, 3-4 SEC) at a sold out Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, November 16. Game time has been set for 7 p.m. ET and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

The Gamecocks have been ranked among the nation’s top 25 teams by the A.P. for 59 consecutive polls. They are tied with Stanford for the fifth-longest streak behind Alabama, LSU, Oregon and Oklahoma.

Alabama continues to lead both polls, followed by Florida State, Ohio State, Baylor and Stanford.
