Music City Bowl - LP Field - Nashville, TN. Both of these teams had their sights set higher than this Bowl game but Clemson has to be the more dissapointed team as they were supposed to be great this year. The Music City Bowl isn't likely to get them very excited. The fact is, the Tigers have been overrated all season. Vegas predicted they would win 8.5+ games this season and they have gone just 8-5. The Tigers beat up on low-level competition but against Bowl teams, they were just 2-3 this season. The public likes Heisman-like players and Clemson has CJ Spiller. While he's a great player, he can't win games all by himself. While everyone assumes he will run all over the Kentucky defense here, I am not so sure, given their time to prepare. Kentucky put up a nice 7-5 mark, facing tougher competition in the SEC. They were 4-1 on the road while Clemson was just 2-4 on the road this season. The Wildcats have the better defense and an offense that rivals Clemson's. This is just too many points in a game that can go either way.
