There were not too many surprises that were so damaging to a team that we had to knock them out of a projected bowl. However, South Carolina moved out of the Capital One Bowl and Georgia, who looked very impressive against Clemson, moved into their spot. The only change among the New Year’s Six Bowls was the automatic qualifier from the “Little Five.” UCF was in the Peach Bowl, but their loss to Penn State will hurt their resume. Cincinnati, who does not play UCF in AAC play this year, takes their spot for now.
