Rankings from AP Poll

The 2011 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina in the 2011 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Gamecocks were led by seventh-year head coach Steve Spurrier and played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium. They were a member of the East Division of the Southeastern Conference and finished 11–2 for the season and 6–2 in SEC play.[1]

The defending SEC East champions, South Carolina started the season 4–0 and ranked No. 10 in the country.[1] However, in the fifth game of the season, they lost at home to unranked defending national champion Auburn,[1] resulting in long-time starting quarterback Stephen Garcia being replaced by Connor Shaw.[2][3][4] Shaw would subsequently start almost every game until the end of the 2013 season, becoming the winningest quarterback in school history along the way, and never losing at home.[5] South Carolina would only lose one more game the rest of the season, a blowout on the road at No. 8 Arkansas.[1] While the Gamecocks finished undefeated against the East Division,[1] the losses to Auburn and Arkansas left them second in the division standings behind Georgia.[6] In the Capital One Bowl, they defeated No. 21 Nebraska 30–13, the program's first bowl victory since 2006.[7] The eleven wins were a school record; it was only the second time in the school's 119-year football history that it won as many as ten games.[8] They also finished eighth in the final Coaches' Poll and ninth in the final AP Poll—their first-ever top-10 finishes in any major poll.[8]

The 2011 Gamecocks were arguably the most talented team in school history.[9][10] They are the only team in South Carolina's history with two future retired jerseys (Alshon Jeffery and Jadeveon Clowney).[11] Melvin Ingram was a consensus All-American, only the third in program history.[12] Jadeveon Clowney, the top-ranked recruit in his class, was named the SEC Freshman of the Year.[13] The team had three future first-round NFL draft picks and sixteen total future NFL draft picks, the most in program history.[9]
