ACC Champ Tie-In Question

[EastboundJacket]

So, with the Orange Bowl being a playoff destination this year, what happens if the winner of the ACCCG is not headed for the playoff? Do they "almost automatically" get a bid to another New Year's 6 game?

For example, if a 9-3 or 8-4 Tech team beat a 10-2 FSU of Clemson in the ACCCG, what would happen?

I think it's TBD based on CFP committee.

Rose and Sugar are contracted with Big 10, Pac 12, SEC, and Big 12.

Most likely Peach Bowl but could be Fiesta Bowl, since they're suppose to take travel into consideration.

10. Pairings for Selected Other Bowl Games.

• All displaced conference champions and the highest ranked champion from a non-contract conference, as ranked by the committee, will participate in selected other bowl games and will be assigned to those games by the committee. If berths in the selected other bowl games remain available after those teams have been identified, the highest ranked other teams, as ranked by the committee, will fill those berths in rank order.’(Note: A “displaced conference champion” is a champion of a contract conference that does not qualify for the playoff in a year when its contract bowl hosts a semifinal game.)
  
• The committee shall create the best matchups in these bowl games in light of the following considerations. None of these considerations shall affect the ranking of teams. Also, none of these considerations will be controlling in determining the assignment of teams to available bowl games.
  • The committee will use geography as a consideration in the pairing of teams and assigning them to available bowl games.
  • The committee will attempt to avoid regular-season rematches when assigning teams to bowls.
  • To benefit fans and student-athletes, the committee will attempt to avoid assigning a team, or conference, or the highest-ranked champion of a non-contract conference, to the same bowl game repeatedly.
  • The committee will consider regular-season head-to-head results when assigning teams to bowls.
  • The committee will consider conference championships when assigning teams to bowls.
