The bowls can pick whoever they want, there really isn’t an order. I believe the ACC does try to influence it a bit to make sure good performing teams don’t get royally hosed — or to prevent the same teams from playing in the same bowls.
I remember how hosed everyone felt in 2018. If I recall we got passed over on a more favorable bowl (Belk maybe?) that would have been nice in CPJ's last game. Of course we ended up getting beat pretty soundly in Detroit, so I wouldn't say the hindsight justifies getting the better bowl. Still lame though.
I just really didn’t want Detroit.Yeah, the Belk (now Duke's Mayo Bowl) only wants NC and Virginia teams. Everyone wanted the Belk vs Auburn that year.

I can say the same thing this year about Fenway and Pinstripe.
Looking at the first tier bowls, San Diego, Orlando, Jacksonville are all good options and I’d go. Charlotte and El Paso are fine, but I feel like we’ve been to both and it’s not exciting. I’d still probably go. Maryland, New York, and Boston I wouldn’t go.

NYC hotels are insanely expensive.NY and Boston are both cool cities so you can make a vacation out of it. Just bundle up.
Recording has just come in of Rules when we secured bowl eligibility. Ironically, he was bowling.
Would be ok with this
Ireland was anxious to have Tech back because of the great turnout we had several years ago. I guess the bowls think our fans are sophisticated to the point that they will travel there, but not to Florida for a bowl game. It might be true that our alumni are spread out all over the country and live in places that are more interesting. The folks living around Tobacco Road are happy to have any reason to get out of town.VT 5-6 4-3, Miami 6-5 2-5, Duke 6-5 3-4 all seem to be projected in a better bowl than Tech. Has the perception of our fan support dropped that low? Duke? Really …. Duke??
