No one here will be happy with ACC bowls, but

I don't think this is a bad line-up.
The bowl in New York is obviously a function of a clear marketing strategy to make New York City "ACC Country". I sure hope we never play in it, but it's not a bad thing to be there. By the same token, I'm surprised we haven't heard that we're locked up with the Military Bowl.
The other bowls are accessible to ACC fans for traveling, and I think that's a good thing. The exception is El Paso...not sure why we're hanging on to this relationship. If ACC fans are going to have to travel west, I would think aligning with bowls in California would be more attractive. Didn't we have a brief relationship with the Emerald Bowl or whatever in San Diego?

I think we have a great bowl lineup. I know a lot of people just look at the name on the bowl and think because it was low class before that it is low class now.
But after the Orange bowl we are going to have the ACC# 2 vs SEC # 2 more often than not and ACC # 2 vs Big 12 #3 in the other years.
If you remove the names and the associations we have mentally and just look at the match ups then the ACC has really improved its stock. the match ups vs the big east have been replaced with SEC and Big 10 match ups.
Also I think the Sun bowl relationship brings some benefits. Its our only matchup versus Pac 12 for obvious reasons. so that's a bit of a novelty. Also its a national broadcast on CBS. which is one of the few bowls not on ESPN along with the Gator bowl. Personally I like it.

What happens to the Peach-fil-a Bowl on years it is not in the play off?
I agree with your comments on the The NY bowl game. Makes it a very expensive trip ... It is one of those that if you can afford the trip it would be a great one.

I agree with MSTiger that the match-ups are a big improvement.
My biggest problem is with the destinations: Not a fan of basically anywhere in Florida (Jax, Orlando, Miami), New York is no place to sit outside in the winter, and I'm not sure what to think of El-Paso because I've never been there. Nashville is awesome (so I'm glad that's still an option), and Charlotte is close for a lot of people, so that's good.

Agree wholeheartedly.
The Sun Bowl is the only bowl not on ESPN/ABC after the Gator switched to ESPN recently. El Paso may not be a great destination but that bowl offers a lot of exposure on New Year's Eve afternoon.

Which is a good start. I'm not thrilled with the Russell Athletic Bowl getting first dibs after Orange, but I also don't see there being a much better choice now that we're not locked into the CFA bowl.

The Capital One Bowl will never have a top 10 team again.
Jul 18, 2013, 3:01 PM
|
|
Capital One Bowl will likely be a couple of 9-3 or worse teams.
The Gator Bowl will be lucky to get a team in the top 25.
The Gator Bowl will likely be a couple of 8-4 or worse teams.

It's still better than nothing. Capital One and Gator are both well-established, "big" names in the bowl world.

northeastern schools, including the only BCS team in the state of New York. We also have Notre Dame in everything but football, and five games a year in football. ND is the only program that really moves the needle in NYC with the possible exception of Rutgers.
If we put the basketball tourney there, have a bowl game there and have a bunch of games on the YES network, who knows where it can take us. We have as much of a claim as a Midwestern conference (Big 10) and more than a purely southeastern conference (SEC).

it is a very good bowl trip. They say the experience is surprisingly good because El Paso has always put a lot into that bowl. They have packed crowds no matter who the teams are and you can tell the community cares about the event. It is also a solid spot on CBS national television lineup every year.
I'm glad the ACC is still in that bowl and the matchup vs Pac12 is good exposure all the way out to the west coast. Ga Tech beating Southern Cal last year was a boost to the league reputation.

3 or 4 football teams to push the national top 5 every year.
We upgraded our tv income, our bowl line-up, our demographics/growth potential, and all we need now is for us, Florida State, Miami and Louisville to push for the national championship. I see a good future for this league.

This Sucks.

How is the Sun Bowl within all ACC team's geographical
area???? They also are sneakingly (but I see)
trying to weed out Clemson, Florida State, Virginia
Tech, and maybe N. Carolina from coming to Atlanta to
strongly represent the ACC with our fan bases. Plus
the fact that Atlanta is supposedlt projected to be
SEC territory with Ga. Tech sitting smack dab in the
middle of Atlanta. Not to mention Georgia has a very
strong amount of Clemson followers as well. The ACC
needs to start kicking butt in out of conference
competition especially in this region. Do that and
they will realign and correct this bowl situation
yet again.

The Chick-fil-a is a playoff bowl that means no conference affiliations. It not about the ACC or anything else its about them getting selected to be part of the playoff. The SUN bowl gives the ACC a chance to play the Pac 12. That is good for publicity and something that doesn't happen often. Look at the SEC they replaced the Sugar/Chick-fil-a with the Belk and Houston bowls. I think they ACC did a good job making the best out of the new system. Just having access to the Capital One(4 out of 12 years) and Gator bowl(every other year) again is a huge step forward.
