4-6...you’d think that Louisville could beat miss st, but they got stomped by a pretty average SEC team in Kentucky. I think Kentucky can beat VT.

this could be an ugly year for the ACC in bowls.

And we "needed" Notre Dame included to get "that lineup"? If we made ND ineligible to take a bowl from the ACC line-up, how much worse could it be???
 
I hate the Birmingham Bowl but part of me wishes that the QL took BC and we got Cincy in Birmingham. I view bowl games as the opposite of the regular season. In the regular season, I want cupcakes and easy wins. In bowl games, I want good opponents because they are exhibition games and losses dont matter nearly as much as regular season losses.

Bowls starting next year.

The ACC and its bowl partners will make team selections based on several factors, including geographic proximity, avoiding repeat appearances and matchups, and regular-season won-loss records.
  • Belk Bowl (will have new sponsor)(Charlotte, NC) SEC/B10
  • Camping World Bowl (Orlando, Florida) B12
  • Hyundai Sun Bowl (El Paso, Texas) P12
  • Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman (Annapolis, Maryland) AAC
  • New Era Pinstripe Bowl (New York City) B10
  • Outback Bowl (Tampa, Florida) – SEC if the ACC’s opponent in the Capital One Orange Bowl is from the Big Ten
  • San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl (San Diego, California) P12
  • TaxSlayer Gator Bowl (Jacksonville, Florida) SEC
  • Fenway Bowl game (Boston, Massachusetts) – AAC

ESPN Events and the following bowls will collaborate on the selection of one ACC team.
  • Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl (Tampa, Florida)
  • Birmingham Bowl (Birmingham, Alabama)
  • SERVPRO First Responder Bowl (Dallas, Texas)

In all, the ACC will annually have 10 guaranteed bowl berths in 2020-25.

I like the new lineup. Got 100% of the Gator Bowl (but gave up 50% of the MC). Added the Holiday Bowl. So although there are no official tiers. There are really 5 Tier 1 bowls with the Holiday.
