USC random bowl thoughts before turkey dinner


Will USC go to the Chick-fil-A bowl or Outback?
Those two seem the most likely stops but the first is starting to seem the likely venue to me or it could be the pumpkin pie I smell. Anyway, with LSU taking a 'L' to Ole Miss recently it has changed some of the scenarios we have read about recently.
Assuming nothing stupid happens over the weekend like a UF loss, bama loss, Ole Miss loss or LSU loss...here is how things could shape up....
  • Ole Miss goes to the Cotton
  • LSU could end up at the Outback bowl
  • USC to the Chick-fil-a for the first time since the Gamecocks won the ACC title in 1969
However, if USC gets blown out by Clemson and Kentucky handles Tennessee, the Outback could go with Kentucky, bumping the Gamecocks to the Music City against an ACC team on Dec. 31.
Oh and another thing to think about is if Bama beats UF in the SEC Championship....that could push USC towards a trip to the Liberty Bowl. I will go on the record and say that this will not happen....NO WAY Bama beats the Gators.
I feel that a trip to Atlanta is going to happen, at least that is how I feel today...talk around the dinner table today and get back to us as we would love to hear where you think USC will end up "bowl-ing?"

NBC Sports USC vs. CU Prediction

A different spin...from NBC Sports....

South Carolina at Clemson

There’s no truth to the rumor that there will be a special guest giving the pregame speech in the Tiger locker room, even though Tommy Bowden excelled at beating the Gamecocks, going 7-2 during his time at Clemson. It’s Dabo Swinney’s show at the moment and if he can come through in his first crack at the archrivals, it might not be his last.
South Carolina, however, ranks second only to the other “USC” in pass defense, allowing just 156.7 yards per game through the air. That’s not good news for Tiger quarterback Cullen Harper . . . and neither is the fact that his offensive line remains a weak link and won’t be able to handle the Gamecocks’ rugged front four well enough to qualify Clemson for a bowl game.

South Carolina 20-17
