Citrus Bowl: Louisville vs LSU
Russell Bowl: Miami vs West Virginia
Belk Bowl: Virginia Tech vs Arkansas
Pinstripe Bowl: Pittsburgh vs Northwestern
Sun Bowl: North Carolina vs Stanford

Military Bowl: Wake Forest vs Temple

I don't feel good that the ACC is profiting off the backs of taxpayers in Jacksonville.

Quote:JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Jacksonville taxpayers will have to fork out $415,000 to install temporary seats for the upcoming TaxSlayer bowl.

...

The city of Jacksonville already provides up to $350,000 in stadium expenses to host the game. While it knew it would have to install temporary seats this year, Mayor Lenny Curry's office mistakenly left out the cost in this year's budget, City Council President Lori Boyer told the newspaper.

Congrats to FSU on the Orange Bowl bid v Michigan.

The Clemson v Ohio State game is going to be unbelievable but not as good as the NC rematch.

ACC ACC ACC

Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl v West Virginia.

I rather fancy going 3-0 against the SEC East this year.

From an ACC fan's perspective ....... Boston College vs Maryland in the post-apocalyptic husk of Detroit is so amazingly appropriate.

ACC bowl slots completed in OP.

I don't care who you are...that's funny.

But really...I want MD to win but I'm not sure they will. It will be good for MD to get some more practice/experience. If BC has any sort of running game look for them to win.

I think U of L vs LSU is a great matchup for y'all. I remember a few years ago when Clemson played/beat them. I truly feel that's what lifted up from a good program to a great one. Hopefully y'all have the same fate. Good luck!

Thanks! Best of luck in the playoffs!
Let's make the Atlantic the best Division in football.

think LSU going to be in Lville's backfield all day, that O-line is struggling

More worried about turning the ball over...Fumbles....if we are even in the T.O. Like us a lot....we will score points and a should be healthy defense-(and hopefully motivated) should give us the edge in a good game.

Louisville is trying to get the IU game moved to 3:30. Still, Indianapolis or the Citrus Bowl? I think the warmer weather in the south will win out.

I'll be rooting for all ACC teams --&-- Go Clem, Win Title!
