More Bowl Talk for Gamecocks

With the SC Gamecocks bowl-eligible and with 7 wins, now it is time to get serious about what are the options to go “bowl-ling.”

The SEC has agreements to send nine of its member institutions to postseason bowl games following the 2008 season. The winner of the SEC Championship Game will automatically participate in the Bowl Championship Series comprised of the Sugar, Rose, Orange and Fiesta Bowls. SEC could get a at-large team also in the BCS to give them 2 representatives. The Capital One will make its pick following the BCS selections. The Outback and Cotton Bowls are next, followed by the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The Liberty and Music City Bowls will pick sixth and seventh, not in any specific order. The Independence Bowl has the eighth selection, while the Papajohns.com Bowl will pick ninth.

Most bowl projections and talk have South Carolina going to the Outback, Chick-fil-a or Cotton as of today. Very outside shot at Capital One as this would take a win vs. UF. I know all this will change as the season progresses. Most likely it seems either Outback or Chick-fil-a.
