5. South Carolina (10-2, 6-2): Make sure when you look back at South Carolina's season, you realize that the Gamecocks were most certainly not Clemson. They weren't the team that had its defense ranked 59th nationally. All South Carolina could muster was ranking fourth. South Carolina also wasn't the team that was able to keep its starting quarterback and its starting running back all year (that running back being one of the best in the country when he's healthy). They weren't the team that lost three games. And they weren't the team that got blown out to its arch-rival at the end of the regular season.
