South Carolina

As befits a team with an all-time record of only 506-509-42, the Gamecocks have not been very successful in UCFC competitions. Their record is only 3-11, and their only success occurred during the bizarre 1989 season.

When that season began, the UCFC was held by Florida State, one of the great powers of that time. But on September 2, 1989, FSU suffered one of the all-time legendary UCFC upsets, losing to Southern Mississippi 30-26, due to a remarkable performance by the Southern Miss quarterback, Brett Favre. But Southern Miss immediately lost the title to Mississippi State, who immediately lost it to Georgia, who immediately lost it to South Carolina -- making September 1989 one of the very few months (if not the only month) in which five different teams held the UCFC. South Carolina actually defended the title for two more weeks -- beating East Carolina and Western Carolina -- before they lost the title to N.C. State. They have never gotten it back.
