8 South Carolina (-2.5) vs. 20 Nebraska
Nebraska's inaugural season in the Big Ten isn't going to end up on the coast they had hoped. The Huskers had their eyes set on playing on the Pacific Coast in the Rose Bowl. They fell short of that goal and head to Orlando instead. Nebraska will take on South Carolina on January 2. Steve Spurrier is building a nice program in Columbia. The Gamecocks reach 10 wins for just the 2nd time in school history, and did so with losing their Heisman-caliber RB, Marcus Lattimore, to an ACL injury. They also kicked their starting QB, Stephen Garcia, off the team for repeated violations of team rules. The reason South Carolina could overcome these losses was a stout defense. Nebraska was supposed to have one of the best defenses in the nation, but South Carolina's out did them. The defense that outplays the other should lead their team to victory.
Prediction - South Carolina 28 Nebraska 16
