The Gamecocks played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina and competed in the East Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They were led by second-year head coach Will Muschamp. They finished the season 9–4, 5–3 in SEC play to finish in second place in the East Division. They were invited to the Outback Bowl, where they defeated Michigan.
Led by returning quarterback Jake Bentley and the SEC's top turnover defense,[2][3] the 2017 season was the peak of the Muschamp era.[3] The Gamecocks had their first winning season and bowl victory since 2014.[4] The nine-win season was only the seventh in school history, and the first since 2013.[4] South Carolina had another three-win improvement over the previous season.[4]
