Both Clemson and South Carolina's football programs have struggled this season. Clemson came in ranked in the top 5 in the preseason polls, Carolina came off a promising 9 win season last year. Both teams had much higher expectations than what they have lived up to. The two teams will meet in the annual Palmetto Bowl, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year marks the worst records for both teams coming into their meeting in over 25 years. With that said, are you looking forward to the game between the two? That's the subject of today's daily poll. Cast your vote below.
