Shane Beamer’s bold message to the rankings following the Gamecocks’ win over Vanderbilt

Gamecock head coach Shane Beamer had a strong message for the ranking committees following his team’s dominant 28-7 victory over the No. 24-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores.

Beamer expressed his frustration with the rankings, saying, “The people who make the rankings don’t think we’re worth shit… Don’t give us a ranking this week, we’re good where we are.”

The Gamecocks, who are now 6-3 on the season, continue to impress with one of the best defenses in the country, led by a dominant defensive line that is among the best in college football. After beating Vanderbilt, South Carolina has three regular-season games remaining: a home game against No. 25 Missouri next week, followed by a home game against Wofford, and a road game against a ranked Clemson team.

If the Gamecocks win, they would give themselves a great chance of making the College Football Playoff, with ESPN currently giving them a 63% chance of making it. Despite the impressive win, Beamer remains focused on keeping his team grounded and highlighting their progress without getting caught up in the rankings.
