Updated (9 p.m. Nov. 18): It's rivalry week, and there is always a lot riding on South Carolina's battle with Clemson.
This year, it could be even more with big-time bowl berths on the line.
A win and the Gamecocks could be heading to Tampa to play in the Outback Bowl. That's where CBS Sports' Jerry Palm says USC is heading to battle Northwestern.
A loss, and the Gamecocks will probably head to Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Bowl against a non-ACC champion.
ESPN's bowl experts are split on the matter. One says the Gamecocks will win and head to Florida. One believes they will lose and head to Atlanta.
