So how do these ACC Bowls look. Who do we think is going, and who end the season with some momentum or not?
Boca Raton Bowl, Dec. 21
- Syracuse vs. South Florida, 8 p.m.
I think Syracuse physically overwhelms South Florida with their run game.
Syracuse 24 South Florida 17
Gasparilla Bowl, Dec. 22
- Georgia Tech vs. Central Florida, 6:30 p.m
The Central Florida offense is going to be a tough matchup for a suspect Georgia Tech defense.
Georgia Tech 27 Central Florida 38
Birmingham Bowl, Dec. 23
- Duke, vs. Troy, 12 p.m
Duke lost their coach, and their starting QB. Troy is playing near home and is eyeing this mathcup.
Duke 17 Troy 27
Military Bowl, Dec. 27
- Virginia Tech vs. Tulane, 2:15 p.m
Tulane will be without their HC, and there should be ton of Virginia Tech fans there. I like the Hokies here.
Virginia Tech 31 Tulane 27
Duke’s Mayo Bowl, Dec. 27
- North Carolina vs. West Virginia, 5:30 p.m.
North Carolina is such a wildcard. We know their talent on offense and they are playing near home. Mack Brown gets a bowl win.
North Carolina 38 West Virginia 31
Holiday Bowl, Dec. 27
- Louisville vs. USC, 8 p.m.
USC is without Caleb Williams. Louisville will have something to prove.
Louisville 41 USC 31
Wasabi Fenway Bowl, Dec. 28
- Boston College vs. SMU, 11 a.m
SMU is really good, and Boston College limped to the finish line. I don’t like this game at all for BC.
Boston 20 SMU 34
Pinstripe Bowl, Dec. 28
- Miami vs. Rutgers, 2:15 p.m.
Miami should win this game, but Rutgers probably will have the home-field advantage.
Miami 27 Rutgers 24
Pop-Tarts Bowl, Dec. 28
- North Carolina State vs. Kansas State, 5:45 p.m.
NC State will be a team with motivation. A 10 win season will special.
NC State 23 Kansas State 17
TaxSlayer Bowl, Dec. 29
- Clemson vs. Kentucky, 12 p.m.
Clemson’s defense will stuff Kentucky
Clemson 20 Kentucky 10
Orange Bowl, Dec. 30
- Florida State vs. Georgia, 4 p.m.
This game will be a lot closer than expected even with all the opt outs. I think Georgia is just a little too talented.
Florida 24 Georgia 30

How in the world do we get a matchup with 2 ACC teams going head to head in a bowl game. At least they didn’t play in the regular season.

I guess you are refering to SMU and BC?
SMU joins next year.
