The No. 15 South Carolina Gamecocks (9-3) will face the No. 20 Illinois Fighting Illni (9-3) in the Cheez-it Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. The game is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT on Dec. 31.

The Gamecocks are yet another SEC team that did not make the College Football Playoff's 12-team field. South Carolina won the last six games of the regular season, their last loss coming against higher ranked, but still not good enough for the CFP, Alabama Crimson Tide.

Illinois had an identical record, and earned a top 20 spot in the CFP's Top 25 at the end of the season. Also similarly, the Fighting Illni won the last three games of their regular season.
