AT 3-5, they didn't qualify for it last year. A 4-4 UofSC team was the SEC rep.

Last year the Belk was on the same night as the playoffs. This season, even though it's on NYE, it's a day full of minor bowl games. For the SEC, the Liberty is on the same night. There are three other games that day as well...all of the same caliber.
