Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1499530, member: 2265"] [SIZE=4] While I agree that this young team will be uneven, the ACC looks soft this year and if we got to say, 6-1, we might get rated or at least get a bunch of points. An upset against FSU or Clemson is also not impossible. If we drop one or two that we think we shouldn't, we won't impress anybody but ourselves. We need to beat BC, NCS and Louisville since they are in our division. We win these three, not only will we be bowl eligible, but we would be no worse than 4-4 in conference and would have good shot at one of the better bowls (3-6). Were we to also beat UVA, we would be at least 5-3 in the ACC. That said, I really would like to beat Pitt.[/SIZE] [LIST=1] [*][SIZE=4]Orange Bowl - ACC Champ[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]The Russell Athletic Bowl (Orlando, FL) will have the first selection of ACC teams after the Orange Bowl and College Football Playoff.

Selections are expected to be based on geography, opponents, avoiding regular season rematches, etc. The ACC will have full tie-ins with the Belk Bowl (vs SEC), Sun Bowl (vs PAC 12), and Pinstripe Bowl (vs Big 10). The ACC and Big Ten will split the Gator (vs SEC) and Music City (vs SEC) bowls with each conference receiving three appearances apiece during the 6-year cycle.[/SIZE] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
