Following its 44-28 loss at Arkansas in a game featuring two Top-10 teams, the South Carolina Gamecocks dropped five spots in both major polls this week. The Gamecocks check in at No. 15 in both the Associated Press and USA TODAY/Coaches polls released today.

The Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2 SEC) will look to get back on the winning track Saturday afternoon when they wrap up the SEC regular season with a noon kick against the Florida Gators (5-4, 3-4 SEC). CBS will televise the game nationally from a sold out Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.
