There aren't many teams that ended the season on as hot as South Carolina.
The No. 19 Gamecocks ended College Football Playoff hopes for both No. 5 Tennessee and No. 8 Clemson, eliminating them with 63-38 and 31-30 defeats. Spencer Rattler tore the two teams apart, combining to complete 55-of-76 passes for eight touchdown passes and two interceptions.
South Carolina will wrap up its season in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, when the Gamecocks face off against No. 21 Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish lost their first two games of the season to Ohio State and Marshall, but rebounded to win eight of their next nine games before dropping the season finale to USC.
