Orange bowl this season if the conference champion is in the playoffs? For example, if FSU goes undefeated and wins the ACC they will naturally be in the 4 team playoff (and a # 1 seed). So, if Clemson were to go 9-3 and this was the next best team in the conference, would they get the Orange bowl, or is there a certain rank that they must acquire in order to get a major bowl? Thanks!!!!
2nd best ACC team goes to the OB. It is contractual now, last year the OB did not have to take Clemson, despite what coots will tell you. But in the new system they have to.
