I've been keeping track of possible bowl projection for both Clemson, and South Carolina probably since two weeks ago. The ACC, and SEC conference which I know very well can tell you whose going to what bowl If the season ends now. First let's look at the Clemson Tigers; with four games left on their schedule, 3 of the 4 being conference games, it's easy to see where Clemson will go to.

If the Tigers win all of their conference games, not only will they win the Atlantic Division, but have a shot to win the ACC title in Tampa. Now Duke can't afford to lose to North Carolina for their Coastal division title showdown against Ga Tech. Can you imagine If Duke wins all their conference games in November? It can happen, anyways If Clemson wins the ACC Title, they're be in Miami in the Orange Bowl where they haven't been since the 1981 National Title Game. If they lose the conference title game, then they're go to the Chick Fil-a Bowl(Which will always be the Peach Bowl to me).

Now for the South Carolina Gamecocks, up to the game against Tennessee, and with Georgia's lost to Florida earlier, I had realize that the gamecocks could wound up as high as the Cotton Bowl in Dallas at the new Cowboys stadium in Dallas. But since the Gamecocks lost to Tennessee and Georgia has a tie breaker over South Carolina, Dallas will not be their designation, but Tampa at the Outback Bowl is still in their sight If they beat Arkansas, and have a game of their life against Florida. If they lost at least one of the two final conference games, then they could wound up in Atlanta in the Chick Fil-a Bowl(Always be the Peach Bowl to me); imagine Clemson and South Carolina having their rematch at the Georgia Dome, that place will be sold out in minutes. If they lost the last two conference games and go 3-5 in the conference, then at best they'll be in the Music City Bowl in Nashville, or at worst either Memphis, or Shervport; remember South Carolina v Missouri in Shervport 3 or 4 yrs ago? That's where the joke came about how Campbell soup gave a million dollars to the University of South Carolina for getting a chicken to crumble in a bowl.

I'll update my bowl projections next week after the result of South Carolina, and Clemson games.
