That's a shame, was really hoping for Sun Bowl since I live (relatively) close to it.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.
USC, Washington close in on a Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl nod, but ACC side is still muddled
While Pac-12 side has some clarity, 17-team ACC has broad range of possibilities for New Year's Eve gamewww.elpasotimes.com
Yes, the former Pac 12 teams can occupy Pac 12 bowl slots this year.Isn't Cal in the ACC? Can they count as a Pac 12 team for the Sun Bowl?
Wish there was a way for us to be matched up with Bama. Would love to beat up on the elephants.

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.My predication on ACC Bowl Placements after Clemson wins ACCCG:
