Tim Scott’s bull’s-eye expands as South Carolina senator rises in GOP 2024 presidential polls
Sen. Tim Scott appears to be a presidential candidate on the rise.
And the senator from South Carolina’s upward mobility in the Republican presidential nomination race has led to a target being placed on his back.
Scott’s up to 11% support in a new survey in Iowa, the state that kicks off the GOP presidential nominating calendar.
He stands in third place in the FOX Business poll, which was released on Sunday. That’s far behind former President Donald Trump, the commanding front-runner in the Republican nomination race, but only five points off from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s in second place.

The senator’s also on the rise in the latest poll numbers in New Hampshire, which holds the first primary and second overall contest in the Republican schedule.
“People want to hear common sense and commonsense conservatism is the path to another American century. We’re excited that the enthusiasm that we’re feeling on the ground is being reflected in the latest polls,” Scott said last week in a Fox Digital interview in New Hampshire.

And he stressed that he and his campaign are going to “keep doing what we’re doing. It’s working. So we have to continue to show up. Continue to have the resources to put on TV.”
But Scott’s upward movement in the polls and his healthy fundraising in the race for the White House – which has allowed him to blanket the early voting states with ads – have fueled efforts by rivals to place a bull’s-eye on the senator’s back.
Super PACs aligned with two Scott rivals – DeSantis and former ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – have targeted the senator.
THIS GROUP IS SPENDING BIG BUCKS TO BOOST TIM SCOTT’S BID FOR PRESIDENT
And as Politico first reported and Fox News confirmed, operatives in those super PACs and in other campaigns are increasing their opposition research files on Scott when it comes to his past actions, comments and his record in the Senate

“This bottom-feeding oppo is so weak and dishonest that even Tim Scott’s political opponents won’t put their names on it. Clearly, those seeking to slow Tim’s momentum are seeing the same polling we are,” Scott campaign communications director Nathan Brand told Fox News.
And a Scott ally who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely argued that “if Ron DeSantis’ and Nikki Haley’s struggling campaigns spent as much time worrying about their candidates as they do Tim Scott they wouldn’t be slipping in early state polls, leaving questions about their long-term viability.”

ESPN's College Football Playoff Predictor has updated again. Here's where South Carolina stands
ESPN.com’s College Football Playoff predictor isn’t perfect because it applies analytics to a situation that ultimately will be decided by a committee of humans. But it does provide a nice guide and discussion piece about which teams have the best chance to make this year’s College Football Playoff.
Because of that human element, the predictor has been updating twice each week, once on Sunday to account for Saturday’s games and again after the latest CFP rankings are released.
[More for subscribers: What latest rankings mean for South Carolina’s College Football Playoff chances]
While the Gamecocks won their game on Saturday and got a lot of help from the teams around them last week, the logjam of SEC teams ahead of them in Tuesday’s rankings is still limiting their upside at this time.
With the committee putting South Carolina behind fellow three-loss SEC teams Alabama and Ole Miss, the predictor currently gives South Carolina a 20 percent chance of making the 12-team field, which is three percentage points lower than its chances in Sunday’s update.
The Gamecocks do, of course, have one more huge opportunity to pad their resume when they travel to Clemson this weekend to renew the annual rivalry in what may be the biggest game in the matchup’s history.
Beat the Tigers, who are currently No. 12 in the CFP Top 25, and South Carolina’s chances of making the playoff jump to 46 percent, according to the predictor.
While that’s just under a coin flip, it’s also 12 percentage points lower than it was in Sunday’s update.
South Carolina is still very much in the hunt but is going to need to win and play very well against Clemson and get more help around it.
[GamecockCentral: $1 for 7 days]
As a reminder, the CFP committee’s top 12 teams won’t correlate exactly with the 12-team field.
The CFP will consist of the top five highest-ranked conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked at-large schools. The top four conference champions will receive the top four seeds and a first-round bye. The fifth conference champion will be seeded by its CFP ranking. If that ranking is outside of the top 12 it will be seeded 12th as the final team in the field.
The teams seeded 5 through 12 will fight it out in the first round with the winners advancing to the quarterfinal round to face the top four seeds.
The Gamecocks and Tigers are set for a noon showdown Saturday in Clemson.
ESPN Analytics uses FPI to simulate the entire college football season 200,000 times. A committee model is applied to mimic College Football Playoff selections and seeding in order to generate a 12-team bracket for each simulation. The most likely CFP teams are provided for user selections. After user inputs, a likely bracket is generated and randomly simulated using FPI.
