The USC loss is not good news for bowl bound ACC schools.  It means Ohio State gets into the playoff, which means Tennessee plays in the Orange Bowl, which means the ACC does not get a slot in the Reliaquest.  That pushes most ACC programs down one slot from where they were projected.

McMurphy and Crawford have not made full updates to accommodate for this. Crawford hasn’t done one post the USC loss.  McMurphy updated his but has left ND in the Reliaquest, which is wrong.

So here is where I think we are now…

Orange Clemson
Cheez It ND
Holiday FSU
Gator NC State
Sun Pitt
Mayo UNC
Military Duke
Pinstripe Syracuse
Fenway UL
Gasparilla Wake

My understanding is that the Cheez It has the first pick after the ACC champ goes to the Orange.  I think they will take ND.

I think the Holiday has the next choice.  They have been associated with UNC for a long time but I suspect they will take FSU, who is unexpectedly available.

The Gator wanted ND or FSU but will settle for NC State.

The Sun has reportedly been down to Pitt or Duke for a while and I think they take Pitt.

The Mayo has two NC schools available.  I suspect they will select UNC over Duke.  Bigger fanbase.

Sounds like UL is locked into Fenway.  Sounds like Wake might be locked into the Gasparilla.

They leaves Duke and Syracuse for the Military and the Pinstripe.  Pretty sure the Pinstripe really wants us and that the Military will be delighted to get an 8-4 Duke team.

Incidentally, retaining the Reliaquest of course also affects many B1G bowl destinations.  Many schools move up a rung.  I believe that is going to change the B1G opponent for the Pinstripe from Minnesota.  It looks like it might be Wisconsin or possibly Maryland.  I think that is a break for us.

Let’s see what happens tomorrow.
