SERIES South Carolina leads 20-13-1. SITE Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C.

WHAT’S AT STAKE The Gamecocks are making their third consecutive bowl game appearance. They beat Michigan 26-19 in the Outback Bowl last season. The Cavaliers look to avenge last year’s 49-7 loss to Navy in the Military Bowl. PLAYERS TO WATCH

SOUTH CAROLINA WR Bryan Edwards. With WR Deebo Samuel sitting out the bowl game to prepare for the NFL Draft, the Gamecocks are expected to lean on Edwards. He had three 100-yard receiving games and is second on the team with 52 receptions for 809 yards and 7 TDs.

VIRGINIA QB Bryce Perkins. The Arizona Western Community College transfer has been a pleasant surprise, setting a school record for total offense with 3,314 yards. He threw for 2,472 yards with 22 touchdowns, and ran for 842 yards and 9 scores.

Peach Bowl

TIME/TV 11 a.m. (ESPN) LINE Michigan by 6 SERIES Michigan leads 4-0. SITE Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta

WHAT’S AT STAKE Michigan can become the 10th team in school history, and the first since 2011, to win at least 11 games. Florida, which had a 4-7 finish in 2017, is looking for its third victory over a ranked team this season. PLAYERS TO WATCH

FLORIDA Quarterback Feleipe Franks’ 23 touchdown passes is the high mark for the Gators since Tim Tebow’s 30 in 2008. Franks had four games with at least three scoring passes. Franks threw only six interceptions while passing for 2,284 yards.

MICHIGAN Junior Chris Evans is in the spotlight as the most experienced running back available. Perhaps the most difficult to replace of four draft-eligible players skipping the game is top rusher Karan Higdon, who ran for 1,178 yards and 10 touchdowns. Evans was second with 403 yards.
