Rivalry week lived up to the billing as several of the top teams in the country were dragged down by their respective arch-nemesis. No. 2 Ohio State and No. 6 Miami lost stunners, while No. 7 Georgia and No.

Saturday marked the sixth-straight win for South Carolina and the second win in Clemson for coach Shane Beamer, who took his first rivalry win in 2022. While there is no guarantee, the Gamecocks increased their College Football Playoff chances with the win.

No. 12 Clemson's hopes of getting into the College Football Playoff are all but shot after a 17-14 home loss to No. 15 South Carolina. The Gamecocks got the win off two huge touchdown runs from South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers.

South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer believes that his program belongs in the 12-team College Football Playoff following Saturday's 17–14 road win over No. 12 Clemson to conclude a 9–3 regular season.

South Carolina did all it can do to build its CFP resume. Now they hope luck falls their way that they can sneak in.
