ATHENS, Ga. — Bowl gifts have become an important measure of a bowl game.
The NCAA allows bowl games to award up to $550 in gifts to 125 members of each participating school.
Additionally, schools and conferences can award participants up to $400 for postseason play.
The Georgia Bulldogs face the Oklahoma Sooners Jan. 1, 2018, in the Rose Bowl - a College Football Playoff semifinal game.

During last year’s trip to the Liberty Bowl against TCU, Georgia players received a Bass Pro Shops shopping trip; Oculus Pro Team HD binoculars; a Bulova watch; Nike athletic shoes, sports sandals, backpack and sunglasses; and a football.
This year’s Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl teams - Auburn and UCF - will receive $300 Vanilla Visa gift card by InComm; Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Bluetooth speaker; Fossil watch; and a football from the Atlanta bowl game.
