Orange Bowl Matchup

So yet again the ACC has an Orange Bowl matchup the presents a no-win situation for the conference.

FSU should beat NIU, so if they do then well, they just did what they were supposed to do. However, if FSU gets caught up in a dog fight or loses, then the ACC takes another huge blow over the conference's legitimacy.

I understand that the way the BCS is selected is completely out of FSU's and the ACC's hands but why can't the ACC seem to get better BCS bowl matchups?

I mean GT-Iowa, VT-Cincinnati, and now this one.

So let me say first off that I know the BCS is changing and what not and I don't want to get into that. But I do want to know other people's opinions on this.

I also think NIU getting a BCS bid is complete crap. They did all they had to do to get in. I'm happy for them, really. But, UGA (who was a few plays away from being in the NCG), LSU, and Oklahoma are waaaay better teams and in BCS conferences. I mean hell how did Florida get in a BCS bowl over UGA anyway, I mean UGA won Florida's division.....but I guess that's another topic.

An FSU matchup against any of those previously mentioned teams would be awesome and great for the ACC if FSU could pull off the win.

Anyway, what do other people think about this? Maybe I'm in a minority here but I just wanted to share my opinions.

Why does the ACC always get screwed in BCS Bowl match ups?
