No bowl for you this year - GT/Duke/VT/FSU/Louisville
Isn't Belk now the Duke's Mayo bowl?
Whomever loses Cuse @UL will have strong headwinds fighting against them to make a bowl.

If Louisville loses to Syracuse, the Cards would need to win out (Duke, Kentucky).
Syracuse only needs one more win, so if they lose to Louisville... yeah, they'd have to beat either NC State or Pitt.
Easier final 2 games: Louisville.

Very bad for the conference that 4 of those 5 teams don't have their **** together.
Here's a Big Ten thread:

I have Rutgers in the Pinstripe. I'm sure they won't want a Rutgers/Syracuse rematch but considering Syracuse lost and will have to beat either NC State in Raleigh or Pittsburgh to make a bowl it probably won't be an issue.
If Louisville beats Duke on Thursday, they are in.
I would say Military bowl for Louisville.
But if they knock off Kentucky as well, then maybe Gasparilla.

Completely agree with the sentiments about this being bad for the ACC. But it’s ironic that we can once again count on Duke to have its **** together.
Here are my guesses as of right now.
Chick-fil-A Peach or PlayStation Fiesta - Pittsburgh
Cheez-It - Wake Forest
TaxSlayer Gator - Clemson
Duke's Mayo - NC State
New Era Pinstripe - North Carolina
Tony the Tiger Sun - Virginia
San Diego County Credit Union Holiday - Miami
Military presented by Peraton - Virginia Tech
Wasabi Fenway - Boston College
Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla - Louisville
I received an email a few days ago from IPTAY regarding bowl requests. What was interesting is that they only provided four options.
Chick-fil-A Peach (a long shot, but technically, still possible)
TaxSlayer Gator
Cheez-It
San Diego County Credit Union Holiday
The ACC Champion is guaranteed a slot in the NY6 Bowls. It’s usually the Orange Bowl, however this year the Orange Bowl is hosting a semi final, and since there’s no chance an ACC team will be in the CFP, they’ll likely go to the Peach Bowl.
Peach Bowl: Pitt (Also ND gets an invite to NY6)
Military Bowl, 12/27, Annapolis, MD - UNC
Holiday Bowl, 12/28, San Diego, CA - Louisville
Fenway Bowl, 12/29, Boston, MA - BC
Pinstripe Bowl, 12/29, New York, NY - UVA
Cheez It Bowl, 12/30, Orlando, FL - Clemson
Duke’s Mayo Bowl, 12/30, Charlotte, NC - NC State
Gator Bowl, 12/31, Jacksonville, FL - Wake Forest
Sun Bowl, 12/31, El Paso, TX - Miami
There are also three bowls that can offer a bid, but only one ACC team is guaranteed a spot:
Gasparilla Bowl, Tampa, FL, 12/23 / Birmingham Bowl, Birmingham, AL, 12/28 /First Responders Bowl, Dallas, TX 12/28 - FSU (if Eligible)

You all have earned the right to name your bowl more or less. You should go to the Gator or Holiday. In the Cheeze it you get Iowa State or some such.
For a program the best bowls for the ACC are the Gator and the Sun. The Sun is on CBS and not played the day after Christmas. Third this year is the Holiday. I would rather get an enema than play in a bowl in Charlotte.
Eastern Carolina claims they've accepted an invitation to the military bowl.
Don't everybody jump an once.

I'm sure VT can not wait.

That would be Cincinnati's conference mate
East Carolina. You could at least get their name right before you leave for greener pastures.

I understood what Bear meant.
My final guess such as it is:
Orange Bowl - Georgia/Oklahoma State (I think OSU beats OU)
Cotton Bowl - Cincy/Michigan (Michigan beats Iowa)
Rose - Oregon or Utah/Ohio State (Don't know what to expect from Oregon)
Sugar - Bama/Oklahoma (Georgia beats Bama)
Peach - Ole Miss/Pitt (Pitt has a better defense and is used to natural turf)
Fiesta - Notre Dame/Michigan State (Best you can do out there)
Citrus - Kentucky/Iowa
Outback - Arkansas/Minnesota
Alamo- K State /Oregon or Utah (The P12 loser is here)
Cheeze - Clemson/Iowa State (Clemson is here to pit Florida vs Miami)
Holiday - UCLA/NC State (There is not a good opponent for State in Charlotte)
Music City - Tennessee/Wisconsin (Big Crowd Game)
Gator - Florida/Miami (Rivalry Game)
Mayo - Virginia/South Carolina (Old SoCon/ACC game good crowd)
Texas - TAMU/Baylor (Played on January 4th, lots of exposure)
Liberty - MIss State/West Va
Sun - Wake Forest/ WSU or ASU (Wake was in Charlotte last year)
Las Vegas - Penn State / ASU or WSU (ASU and WSU are interchangeable)
Pin - UNC/Purdue (Beats the Hell out of playing ECU)
Military - VT/ECU (ECU blood and grudge match)
Fenway - BC/Tulsa (Tulsa is the last AAC School)
Guaranteed Rate - MD/SMU (Lowest B10 School, but SMU is in State)
Gasperilla - Auburn/UCF or UAB (Auburn is home)
First Responder - Houston/Louisville
Hawaii - SDSU/Memphis
It's very difficult below this point:
Armed Forces - Army/App State
Motor City - Central or Western Michigan against Western KY or UCF
Peach - Pittsburgh
Gator - Clemson
Cheeze - NC State
Duke's Mayo - Wake Forest
Holiday - Miami
Fenway - Boston College
Gasparilla - North Carolina
Sun - Virginia Tech
Military - Virginia
Pin - Louisville (vs. Maryland)

Wake was in last year's Mayo and three years before that:
Last 5 Mayo/Belk
20- WF
19 - VT
18 - UVa
17 - WF
16 - VT
I can't see a third time in 5 years although SC is the likely SEC school
