re: Here is how the NY6 is going to break down.

You did. P5 champions qualify, they just aren’t tied to a specific bowl since the Orange is hosting a semifinal.

ACC Bowl Ties, Affiliations
Notre Dame is eligible for any ACC bowl tie-in as long as it’s within one game of the team eligible for the slot.

Again, normally the top available ACC team goes to the Orange Bowl, but there’s no direct tie-in this year since it’s a College Football Playoff semifinal.

1. College Football Playoff Semifinal: If Selected

2. Camping World Bowl vs. Big 12

First Tier

– Citrus Bowl (if top possible team is higher-ranked than SEC or Big Ten team) vs. SEC or Big Ten
– Belk Bowl vs. SEC
– Hyundai Sun Bowl vs. Pac-12
– New Era Pinstripe Bowl vs. Big Ten
– Franklin American Mortgage Music City vs. SEC OR
– TaxSlayer Bowl vs. SEC

– ACC and Big Ten combine in the Music City and TaxSlayer, with each getting three appearances in six years. The ACC played in the Music City in 2015 and the TaxSlayer in 2016 and 2017. It’s almost certainly going to be in the Music City, but can still play in the TaxSlayer.

Second Tier

– Walk-On’s Independence Bowl vs. SEC
– Military Bowl vs. American Athletic
– Quick Lane Bowl vs. Big Ten
– St. Petersburg Bowl
Conditional if American Athletic or Conference USA can’t fill the spot.
– Birmingham Bowl
Conditional if American Athletic or SEC can’t fill the spot.

Well, the good thing is Clemson is already up 2 TDs early against Pitt and OSU is looking strong against NW.

Here's hoping for two, low-stress blow-outs. We deserve it after last week!

Pitt and Northwestern are two sorry arse teams that have zero shot at winning tonight.

You realize LSU has like a 95% chance of making a NY6 game, right?

IF NW WINS: Playoff: Bama, Clemson, ND, OU Sugar: Texas vs UGA Rose: NW vs Washington Fiesta/Peach: OSU, Michigan, UCF, Florida

Texas? Why?

Winner of ACC is automatic to NY6

Basically, if there is an upset in either game tonight, LSU is out.

But you did good work other than the Pitt thing (won’t matter cause Pitt won’t win anyway)...I think Northwestern is the chance for upset tonight

Yep. I was playing this projection game sitting outside drinking last weekend. It was much more difficult then. I must have misread something. Probably saw that they had no tie in to Orange, and just took that to mean they weren't tied at all.
