SUN BOWL UPDATE:

"It's still a mess over there, depending on what happens," Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl executive director Bernie Olivas said of the ACC. "They're all bunched up. ... North Carolina would have been good but I don't know if they'll have a coach or not. "Boston College has never been here, maybe Pittsburgh. I have a feeling Duke will be taken above us, same as Syracuse." Virginia-Virginia Tech winner will be in consideration from ACC

As for the Pac-12 Legacy, "It's down to Washington, Southern Cal or Cal," Olivas said. "Things could happen if Washington State beats Wyoming, but I think overall it's going to be Washington, USC or Cal. Not necessarily in that order."

By rule Cal can't play someone it has already played in the regular season, which would rule out several match-ups against ACC teams. This problem is not unique to the Sun Bowl, with 10 of the 12 Pac-12 Legacy schools now in other power conferences.

 
I guess Syracuse ended up being pretty decent.

That's a shame, was really hoping for Sun Bowl since I live (relatively) close to it.
 
Isn't Cal in the ACC? Can they count as a Pac 12 team for the Sun Bowl?

We are gonna be worn out, but let's do it, play all of them. I figure we win at least three of those.
 
My predication on ACC Bowl Placements after Clemson wins ACCCG:
Clemson & SMU - CFP

Syracuse - Directv Holiday Bowl vs Former Pac12 teams - $6,532,700
Miami (or Clemson if they lose and Miami gets in) - Pop-Tarts Bowl vs Big 12 - $6,071,760 - Clemson (Clemson loses CG & ACC only get 1 CFP bid)
Louisville - TaxSlayer Gator Bowl vs SEC - $5,350,000 - Miami
Georgia Tech - Duke's Mayo Bowl vs Big Ten - $4,780,461 - Louisville
Duke - Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl vs Former Pac12 teams - $4,550,000 - Duke
Pitt - Pinstripe Bowl vs Big Ten - $4,400,000 - Georgia Tech
BC - Go Bowling Military Bowl vs American Athletic - $2,066,990 - Pitt
VT - Wasabi Fenway Bowl vs American Athletic - $1,877,770 - BC
NC State- 76 Birmingham Bowl vs SEC or AAC - $1,374,545 - VT

UNC - Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl vs AAC or SEC - $1,125,000 - NC State
unfilled by ACC unless only 1 ACC team makes playoff- SERVPRO First Responder Bowl vs SEC or AAC - $824,545 - UNC

Cal - SERVPRO First Responder Bowl vs MWC- $1,500,000

Your guess is as good as anyone's, but Duke's Mayo will never pick a school outside NC or Virginia if possible, and there are too many options for them this year ahead of choosing Tech.
 
I’d love the Poptart bowl, why would anyone be excited about watching or traveling for UNC right now?
