ACC Bowls 2018

At this point, this is purely for informational purposes, so folks are aware of what the postseason possibilities are this year.

1.) CFP (if ACC teams are selected) - Orange or Cotton Bowl
2.) New Year's Six - Peach or Fiesta Bowl
3.) Camping World Bowl
4.) Tier 1 (equal selection) - Belk, Sun, and Pinstripe Bowls, plus Gator or Music City Bowl
5.) Tier 2: Military Bowl
6.) Tier 2: Independence Bowl
7.) Tier 2: Quick Lane Bowl
8.) Tier 2: Gasparilla (formerly St. Petersburg) or Heart of Dallas Bowl
9.) If the ACC still has bowl eligible teams but other conferences don't - Birmingham Bowl

Since the Orange Bowl is a semi-final, the top of the selection process is simpler this year. For one thing, the ACC does not have access to the Citrus Bowl, so the Camping World Bowl clearly has the first pick after the NY6.

The ACC champ is guaranteed a spot in the NY6. If they're not in the semi-finals, they will take one of the "at-large" spots in the Peach or Fiesta Bowls. (Rose and Sugar are locked in with the other four P5 conferences.)

However, if the ACC champ is in the semi-finals, there is no guarantee for another ACC team to make a NY6 bowl. A second ACC team would have to be ranked in the top 10 (or possibly higher depending on the other conference champs/replacement teams).

There are two years left on the Gator/Music City deal where they pick either an ACC or Big Ten team, and both bowls have one pick for each conference left. That means whichever team doesn't take an ACC team this year will be locked into taking one next year.
