CBS Sports analysts make picks for Saturday’s Palmetto Bowl
One of the biggest games in Week 14 is the Palmetto Bowl matchup between Clemson and South Carolina. Both of these teams are still in the thick of things when it comes to the College Football Playoff, with the loser being all but eliminated from making it.
With the stakes so high, college football analysts across the country are making predictions on who they think is going to win this game. The guys at CBS Sports made their picks, and in a rare occurrence, all 4 of the Inside College Football analysts are in agreement.
“You can’t deny what you’ve seen, which are these two bullet defensive ends for South Carolina. They raise havoc.” — @CoachNeuheisel
“South Carolina wins this and they win it pretty easily.” — @JonesN4mo

All 4 analysts are taking the Gamecocks in this game, and they believe they will do it in convincing fashion. A case could be made the Gamecocks are playing as well as any team in college football. They have won their last 5 games since starting 3-3, and 2 of the Gamecocks’ losses are by 5 total points against LSU and Alabama.
The Tigers have dominated this series as of late, as they have won 8 of the last 9 games in this series. South Carolina’s lone win in this matchup was in 2022, when the Gamecocks won 31-30 at Clemson.
Go cocks!
