[B]Bees[/B]...I have gone back to source (NCState senior Administrat ) and here is the outcome that appears happening. there is 2 semis and the NC...however there are going to be 6 total "BIG" bowls...the Orange bowl will be in the rotation for the 2 semis...[B]if the ACC champion is not in a semi final game (one that Orange Bowl has in rotation), the ACC champion is going to be guarranteed one of the other bowls that is not hosting the semis (The ACC champion will be in the Organge Bowl all times that the Orange Bowl is not one of the semis bowls (ACC champion can be at Orange if it is in Semis.[/B] This is why the final deal has taken so long to arrive at. Think of it this way...6 overall bowls, ([B]not counting the NC with space for 12 teams). [/B]The top 5 conferences of which ACC is considered, will have its champion in one of them...it could be the semis or one of the other bowls...this is why it was so important for the ACC to still be at the big boy table. This is how this is looking to come down...and it appears it will be this way--the ACC is going to make a whole bunch of $$$$$$.
[B]Summary:[/B]
[B]2 semi bowls[/B]
[B]1 NC[/B]
[B]4 other big bowls[/B]
[B]total teams for 2 semi bowls and 4 other big bowls...5 conference teams in (champions most likely) plus 7 other teams based on SOS and rankings...ACC champion will be in one of these 6 bowls...[/B]
...and here is an ESPN link that is up to date on above:
