Themes emerge in latest bowl projections for South Carolina and Clemson

Trips to Las Vegas, Nashville or Memphis are the choices for the South Carolina football team after the latest round of bowl projections. South Carolina has won four straight games and mathematically remains in the hunt for a spot in the College Football Playoff. If that doesn’t happen, USC is at least trending toward a late-December bowl game. Clemson’s bowl projections seem to be trending to Texas after the Tigers won their second-straight game. Both teams are 6-3 overall. Here is where national outlets have the Gamecocks and Tigers possibly going during bowl season: Gamecocks Bowl Projections ESPN Music City Bowl: Wisconsin vs. South Carolina (Dec. 30) Liberty Bowl: UCF vs. South Carolina (Jan. 2) ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura changes his destination for the Gamecocks and has them going to Memphis the day after New Year’s. Mark Schlabach’s pick doesn’t change and has USC going to Nashville. South Carolina has never played in the Music City Bowl, while it has played in the Liberty Bowl two times, most recently in 2006.

Long time mayor possibly may bow out

West Union’s mayor since 2011 is considering against running for a new term when the county towns and cities hold elections a year from now. Linda Oliver is aware of two road signs that urge a recall of her current term, although South Carolina has no provision for recall of a public official. Oliver explained to 101.7/WGOG NEWS that her main concern is her town’s ability to attract candidates — not just for mayor but for town council. West Union elections usually draw small numbers of voters. She notes last week’s tax question attracted 92 voters, and she wonders why a number such as that don’t take part in mayor and council elections.
