Rankings from AP Poll

The 1990 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina as an independent during the 1990 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Gamecocks were led by Sparky Woods in his second year as head coach and played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium.

Led by quarterback Bobby Fuller,[1] the Gamecocks finished the season with a record of 6–5.[2] Their loss to The Citadel was the program's first loss to a Division I-AA team since 1982, and would be the last until 2015.[3] South Carolina was bowl-eligible, but athletics director King Dixon declined a bowl bid, likely due to the lingering effects of the 1988 steroids scandal.[1] This was Woods' second and final winning season with the Gamecocks; it would be South Carolina's last winning season until 1994.[4]
