Rankings from AP Poll

The 2010 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina in the 2010 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team's head coach was Steve Spurrier, who was in his sixth season at USC. The Gamecocks played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina and were members of the East Division of the Southeastern Conference. The Gamecocks finished the season 9–5, 5–3 in SEC play to win the East Division for the first and only time in program history.

The division championship was made possible by a relatively weakened SEC East[a] and several Gamecocks having successful seasons. Returning quarterback Stephen Garcia had another top-5 season for the school in many statistical categories.[5] Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award.[6] Running back Marcus Lattimore, in the only healthy season of his career, was named the National Freshman of the Year.[7][8] The offense and defense were both statistically in the top half of the SEC.[9][10]

Following the season-opening win, the Gamecocks entered the AP Top 25 and would not leave it again until September 2014.[11] In the fourth home game, South Carolina upset defending national champion No. 1 Alabama, which was on a nineteen-game winning streak.[12][13] This was the first and only victory over a top-ranked team in program history.[14] One month later, South Carolina clinched the SEC East by defeating No. 24 Florida in the Swamp for the first time in program history.[15] Spurrier was carried off the field by his players.[16]

In the program's only appearance in the SEC Championship Game, the Gamecocks lost to No. 1 Auburn for the second time that season.[12] Regardless, Spurrier was awarded his seventh and final SEC Coach of the Year Award.[17] They were invited to the Chick-fil-A Bowl, where they were defeated by No. 23 Florida State.[12] South Carolina finished the season ranked for the first time since 2001, and the nine-win season was only the third in program history.[18]
