After defeating Clemson 17-14, Shane Beamer and other Gamecock players made their case for the College Football Playoff.
Following a loss to Alabama, the South Carolina Gamecocks were 3-3 and staring at a cross roads. Since that loss, the Gamecocks have won six straight games and have a shot at making the College Football Playoff.
South Carolina is 9-3 on the year. They have six straight wins, which includes four top 25 wins, and have been one of the hottest teams in the country over that stretch. In a battle for those last couple spots, the Gamecocks head coach believes the strength of their schedule should matter. "If the Committee's job is to pick the 12 best teams, you tell me on Selection Sunday everybody across the country if South Carolina pops up in that bracket, I don't know of any team that would be excited about having to play this team the way that we're playing right now. That's what I judge it on," Coach Beamer on his team's playoff chances.
Talking about the pride of playing in the conference and being in the playoffs, star tailback Rocket Sanders had this to say.
