How this year's Gator Bowl matchup came about | members.jacksonville.com
The first bowl with a crack at Texas A&M was the Capital One Bowl, which had coveted the Aggies and Johnny Football in 2012. But the SEC, cautious to protect its top teams, wasn’t about to let South Carolina (10-2) slide behind Texas A&M (8-4), and the Gamecocks were Orlando-bound against Wisconsin.
