There is a 99% chance the Gamecocks are headed to the Capital One Bowl, barring any unforeseen last-minute deals. This will be the first time Carolina has played in Orlando since 1975, when it was The Tangerine Bowl. South Carolina's opponent will be determined based on the BCS rankings, but we know it will be a team from the Big 10. The top two candidates are Michigan and Nebraska. If Michigan is ranked outside of the top 14 in the BCS, the Wolverines will play South Carolina for the first time since 1985. If Michigan is inside the top 14 of the BCS, the most likely opponent for USC would be Nebraska. USC last played Nebraska in 1987.
The BCS rankings will not be announced until 8:15 p.m. tonight. The Capital One Bowl has a payout of $5 million per team.
