This week, it’s SBNation getting bullish on South Carolina’s potential as a bowl team.
Some of the best squads in Gamecocks history ended their season in Orlando’s Citrus (then-Capital One Bowl). Could Will Muschamp’s second team do the same?
SBNation paired the Gamecocks with Penn State in that New Year’s Day game. It would mean facing coach James Franklin, who went 0-3 against the Gamecocks at Vanderbilt.
That projection had Georgia, Alabama and Auburn making New Year’s Six bowls, with USC emerging from a glut of SEC teams, including LSU, Mississippi State and Kentucky, that might bunch up at season’s end.
