COLUMBIA, S.C. – There are some extremely high expectations for Shane Beamer, LaNorris Sellers and the South Carolina Gamecocks going into the 2025-26 college football season. This comes after a 9-3 season last year and just missing the cut of the college football playoff.
Following their extreme success last season after preseason polls had them finishing in the bottom five, the media and oddsmakers on college football prop betting sites have high expectations for them. Across the board, their preseason odds are the highest they’ve been in over 10 years.
2025-26 South Carolina Preseason Odds
- National Championship: +4000
- SEC Championship: +2500
- Win Total: 7.5
- To Make CFP: +385
- LaNorris Sellers Heisman Odds: +1600
Starting with the Gamecocks National Championship odds, history isn’t on their side as South Carolina has never won a National Championship in football. However, since the 2014 season when they opened with +3000 preseason odds, their +4000 preseason odds in 2025 are their lowest since. In all those years in between, they’ve opened with +15000 odds or worse.
South Carolina has never won an SEC Championship since joining the conference in 1992. They’ve also only been to one SEC Championship game in that span which came in 2010 where they were obliterated 56-17 to Auburn. Like their National Championship odds, these are their lowest preseason odds since the 2014 season when they opened with +600 odds. They originally opened at +1800 odds and saw their odds creep back to +2500 since then. In 2010 which was the last time they made the SEC Championship game, they did so with +1600 preseason odds.
Keeping on trend with their rising odds, this is South Carolina’s highest set win total since 2018, when they opened with a 7 win total. They’ve gone over the 7.5 win total mark just three times since 2017. However, they’ve gone over sportsbooks past set win totals in three of the last four seasons.
Since the start of the college football playoff era, South Carolina has never punched their ticket to the postseason. Last season was their closest yet to making it to the CFP in the new 12 team format and they had a legitimate argument to make it as well and finished 15th in the final rankings before the committee made their selection.
South Carolina has produced just one Heisman winner in history which came back in 1980 when RB George Rogers won. Now in 2025, this could be their best chance to produce another since then as LaNorris Sellers has +1600 odds to win which are the fifth shortest odds on the board.
