South Carolina rises to No. 11 in latest NFCA/GoRout DI Top 25 Coaches Poll
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Texas remained No. 1, while undefeated South Carolina continued its quick rise up the rankings to No. 11 in the latest 2025 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll.
The Longhorns (20-1) are one of five top-25 programs to reach to the 20-win plateau last week. UT knocked off USF twice, Abilene Christian, New Mexico State and Alabama A&M, who were part of the Longhorn Invitational. The Longhorns have won nine straight and improved to 10-0 at home.
The Gamecocks (19-0) continued their record NCAA start, and along with No. 2 Oklahoma (19-0), are the only two undefeated teams left in the rankings. South Carolina won its first road game of the season at Charlotte before heading down to Durham, N.C. and sweeping then-No. 8 Duke over the weekend. With the wins, the Gamecocks are one win shy of matching their best start in program history (20-0 in 1976). Additionally, the Gamecocks and Sooners meet this weekend in Norman for their Southeastern Conference opener.
The 2025 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll is voted on by 31 NCAA Division I head coaches with one representing each of the NCAA’s Division I Conferences. Polls will be released Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. throughout the regular season. Records reflect games played through March 2, 2025.
