All the Gamecocks must do to figure in the BCS rankings and reach the Sugar Bowl is win the SEC Championship game, but first they have to get there, which is easier than it may sound.

Winning at Florida is a must, but that's the biggest hurdle. Clemson is a non-conference game that won't figure in the standings and a loss this week at Tennessee won't matter too much as long as Georgia (6-1, 4-1 SEC) loses to either Florida or Auburn and that's a pretty safe bet.

A 2-2 record and a win at Florida and the Gamecocks should be Sugar Bowl bound.

Despite a 2-2 start this season, the Fighting Irish is better than even money to be there as well.

No. 19 Notre Dame (5-2) doesn't even appear among the top-15 in the BCS rankings, but as surprising as it may sound, the Fighting Irish have a better shot than any other team of heading to a BCS Bowl game as it stands now.
