BowlTourneyResult=The 2000 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference. The Gamecocks were lead by Lou Holtz in his second season as USC head coach and played their home games in Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC.

Carolina played their way to one of the biggest turnarounds in college football history by going from a winless season in 1999, to an 8-win campaign in 2000. The turnaround in conference was also one of the biggest in SEC history, going from 0-8 in 1999, to 5-3 in 2000. On New Year's Day 2001, the Gamecocks defeated Ohio State in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida.
