The Meineke Car Care Bowl, which may feature South Florida and Clemson. The first two dominoes of the ACC’s bowl selection process have fallen.
Virginia Tech’s win against Florida State in the league championship game in Charlotte on Saturday will send the Hokies to the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3 to play either Big East champion UConn or Stanford. The Seminoles are headed for Atlanta and the Chick-Fil-A Bowl to play an SEC opponent.
State has scheduled an 8:45 conference call tonight to discuss its bowl situation.
All indications are that the Wolfpack will be the ACC’s representative in the game and will be matched against West Virginia of the Big East. Notre Dame was the other team under consideration, but according to a source in South Bend, Champs Sports officials couldn’t justify taking the 7-5 Irish over a nine-win Mountaineers team.
The Champs Sports Bowl has the option of taking Notre Dame over a Big East team once during that four-year period.
