[QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 358817, member: 302"]
the finalization of the competition for the ACC in the Orange Bowl is near according to my source.
 
It now appears that there are three possibilities:  [B]SEC and B1G team that is not going to the Rose, Champion or Semis for NC and Notre Dame.[/B]  What this means is that in a year that neither the SEC or B1g is going to a semi final the Orange may take the #2 team in either conference...or Notre Dame dependent on ranking...if either/or B1G or SEC first team goes to the semis for the NC, then it would be the #3 teams from that league that would be potential competitors as their # 2 would go to their respective contract bowl...the highest rated determined by those teams and Notre Dame.  [B]There is no Pac12 or Big12  or BE being considered.[/B]  Final information should be avialable, inlcuding TV dollars etc in next several weeks.
 
The ACC is in negotiations and it is looking like there will be a bundle of dollars forthcoming for TV rights which the ACC owns 100%--how much it provides to its competition is also being negotiated.
 
I believe this is good news on several fronts as both the SEC and B1G are willing to provide their #2 team to the Orange Bowl if neither #1 is going to the Semis for NC.  It appears the BE is being pushed out of the Top rung of football...additionally, The ACC is in process of relooking at the number of conference games potentially reducing to 8.  Will update as I learn more...Go 'Cuse!
