Tire Bowl Bound?

Just heard on the radio that both the Clemson and South Carolina athletic departments have informed the bowl committees that they will refuse any invitations that are extended for postseason play, as self-imposed punishment for the brawl on Saturday.

I haven't looked at it carefully, but I think that means the Heels are a shoo-in for the Tire Bowl in Charlotte, as Clemson was the primary alternative being discussed. Not sure whether it might bump us to something higher-profile, but a road trip to Charlotte is just fine by me.
