Top 10 SEC-Big Ten Games of the Last Decade: #5 - South Carolina v Ohio State, 2002 Outback Bowl
The Steve Bellisari comeback game, aka Columbia v Columbus, ruined by a late interception and a game winning field goal for the Gamecocks. One hell of a game for anyone who likes to see Ohio State lose and probably SC's high point of the last 10 years?
Tressel was so enraged he ordered the Buckeye's to win the National Championship the following year, which they did. Holtz was so inspired that he ordered the Gamecocks to go 5-7 in consecutive seasons, which they did.
Law Buckeye and I greatly enjoyed our stop in Columbia, SC, this Spring. It's a great town and if you visit, make sure you stop at Maurice's BBQ for some of the best South Carolina BBQ you'll ever taste. Just don't ask Maurice his opinion on liberals, segregation, or the Civil Rights Act.
Here are the countdown games so far...
#6 -- Iowa v LSU, 2005 Capital One Bowl
#7 -- Georgia v Purdue, 2000 Outback Bowl
#8 -- Michigan State v Florida, 2000 Citrus Bowl

Minor correction
It’s Columbia, South Carolina. Not Columbus.
Oh well. Poetic license, right?

I remember
I remember that game vividly.. I was so depressed that I decided it was better to be a purse holder for my wife at the mall… as we were getting ready to leave the comeback started and I let her go alone. That INT was horrible and losing to SC 2 years in a row was worse.
