"I am hearing from some guys at Bighuskerfan.com that NU will play Clemson in the Gator Bowl. Really disappointing if you ask me. Clemson is like the number 7 team in the ACC. This really sucks."

Clemson is 4-2 since they removed Tommy Bowden and replaced him with interim head coach Dabo Swinney, who is going to be their permanent coach. He's young and fired up, like Bo, and everyone seems very happy in Death Valley. 

As for the Gator Bowl, they'd love to have Papa Bowden on CBS, but FSU has been on a slide as the season progressed. Also, FSU has played twice in Jax this season and one of those, against Colorado, attendance was about 40k. So FSU fans may be fatigued. 

For Nebraska and Clemson, they met 27 years ago in the 1982 Orange Bowl, and with the 22-15 victory, Danny Ford and the Tigers claimed the MNC. Also, Clemson, like Nebraska, is known to travel very well, and a full stadium makes everyone happy.
