COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Gamecocks have learned which Southeastern Conference opponents they will face on the football field. And it's a schedule without a few familiar opponents but with one completely new one: Oklahoma.
The SEC released its conference schedule on Thursday. All teams schedules are getting a major overhaul because of the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, who left the Big 12. Because of the change, the SEC is throwing out the Eastern and Western Divisions; instead, the teams with the top two overall records will meet in the SEC Championship game.
The Gamecocks will host LSU, Ole Miss, Missouri and Texas A&M at Williams-Brice Stadium in 2024, and will travel to Alabama, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma. This is the first time USC has ever played the Sooners.
However, the Gamecocks will not play their traditional Eastern Division rivals Georgia, Florida or Tennessee. USC has played these teams every year since they joined the SEC in 1992.
Don't worry--yes, they will be playing arch-rival Clemson from the ACC as usual.
Dates and kickoff times will be announced later.
South Carolina previously announced its four 2024 non-conference opponents, which includes home games against Old Dominion (Aug. 31), Akron (Sept. 21) and Wofford (Nov. 23) and a road game at Clemson (Nov. 30).
