It's either Miami or Charlotte for our Bowl

If we beat Clemson, we go to Miami to play our Bowl Game as the conference champions and finish 10-3 prior to the Bowl Game.

If we lose to Clemson, it comes down to Louisville, FSU, and VT for the 2 and 3 spot. The second biggest bowl for the ACC is the Russell Athletic Bowl in Central Florida. The third spot is the Belk Bowl in Charlotte against an SEC team. Common sense says, FSU gets the highest bid over VT and Louisville as FSU is closer to Central Florida. That makes sense in my opinion. VT being less than 3 hours from Charlotte easily gets the nod over Louisville. Hope for Charlotte if we lose to Clemson! I don't care for the I4 corridor area anyway, the money is shared by the conference, and it's a win-win for VT fans to be picked behind FSU in the bowl pecking order so we can go to Charlotte and pack the house.

In my opinion, it's clearly Miami or Charlotte. Louisville is not getting the nod over VT or FSU for the bowl in Central Florida or Charlotte.
 
There used to be bowl selection bylaws that said if Team B was within one game of Team A in the conference standings, then Team B could be chosen instead of Team A.

Does anyone know if these bylaws are still in effect? If they are, then there's zero chance that VT will be in Charlotte. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
 
Nothing is locked in stone. I remember when VT got a surprise invite to Sugar Bowl. I believe that was year Michigan brought their refs with them.
