Michigan players get the honor of playing in the Outback Bowl.

Oh, and free stuff.

Each bowl is allowed to give up to $550 worth of gifts to players competing in their games, per NCAA rules. At last year's Sugar Bowl, the Wolverines shopped in a suite stocked with gifts, and they could choose what toys they wanted up to the limit.

This year, they'll receive the following, according to SportsBusiness Journal: $150 Best Buy gift card, Fossil watch, ring, cap and an Outback Steakhouse gift card.

South Carolina players will receive the same.

The No. 19 Wolverines (8-4) and No. 11 Gamecocks (10-2) will square off at 1 p.m. New Year's Day in Tampa, Fla.
