only nightmare scenario i see

Duke some how takes out FSU in the ACCCG and gets the orange invite. FSU goes to the Sugar, and Clemson to the peach.
Correct me if I am wrong, but our game with the chickens would be meaningless at this point so long as FSU wins out and plays for the title.
Is there a way the ACC could get the Orange taken away from us should FSU go to the title, or is this an automatic ACC representation?

He will threaten to tear up the contract with the OB if this is not allowed.

that is what I thought, and clemson would be the obvious pick over a 3 loss duke team.
and swofford should have learned his lesson by now when he snubbed us for BC in the gator and they split the conference after losing money on it.

Orange Bowl does not have to pick an ACC team to replace FSU. The team they pick has to be in the top 14 in the BCS standings.

there goes that theory... Bamer needs to beat Auburn and I think Clemson would still have an advantage over a 2loss Stanford or Missouri should we lose to the coots. I do not think a loss to the coots drops us out of the top 14.

This is a copy and paste from the direct agreement between the orange bowl and the ACC.
In the years that the ACC champion is in a playoff and the Orange Bowl is not hosting, another representative from the conference will be selected.

PLAYOFFS? You're talking about PLAYOFFS?
I think thats for next year, but this year is basically the same. Unless the Orange has a specific line in the contract saying they must take an ACC team if 1) a team from the ACC is in the NCG, and 2) there is an eligible team(top 14).
from: http://www.bcsfootball.org/news/story?id=4819597
Team-Selection Procedures
The bowls will select their participants from two pools: (1) automatic qualifiers, all of which must be selected, and (2) at-large teams, if fewer than 10 teams qualify automatically. The following sequence will be used when establishing pairings:
1. The top two teams in the final BCS Standings will be placed in the National Championship Game (hereinafter "NCG").
2. Unless they qualify to play in the NCG, the champions of selected conferences are contractually committed to host selected games:
• Atlantic Coast Conference - Orange Bowl
• Big Ten Conference - Rose Bowl
• Big 12 Conference - Fiesta Bowl
• Pac-12 Conference - Rose Bowl
• Southeastern Conference - Sugar Bowl
3. If a bowl loses a host team to the NCG, then such bowl shall select a replacement team from among the automatic-qualifying teams and the at-large teams before any other selections are made. If two bowls lose host teams to the NCG, each bowl will get a replacement pick before any other selections are made. In such case, the bowl losing the No. 1 team gets the first replacement pick, and the bowl losing the No. 2 team gets the second replacement pick. If the Rose Bowl loses both the Big Ten and Pac-12 champions to the NCG, it will receive two replacement picks.
A bowl choosing a replacement team may not select:
A. A team in the NCG, or
B. The host team for another BCS Bowl;
Further, when two bowls lose host teams, the bowl losing the No. 1 team may not select a replacement team from the same conference as the No. 2 team, unless the bowl losing the No. 2 team consents.
4. After steps No. 1, 2, and 3 have been completed, any bowl with an unfilled slot shall select a team from the automatic qualifiers and/or at-large teams in the following order:
• January 2011 games - Sugar, Orange, Fiesta
• January 2012 games - Fiesta, Sugar, Orange
• January 2013 games - Fiesta, Sugar, Orange
• January 2014 games - Orange, Sugar, Fiesta
All teams earning automatic berths must be selected.
5. After completion of the selection process as described in Paragraph Nos. 1-4, the conferences and Notre Dame may, but are not required to, adjust the pairings, taking into consideration the following:
A. Whether the same team will be playing in the same bowl game for two consecutive years; and/or
B. Whether two teams that played against one another in the regular season will be paired against one another in a bowl game; and/or
C. Whether the same two teams will play against each other in a bowl game for two consecutive years; and/or
D. Whether alternative pairings may have greater or lesser appeal to college football fans as measured by expected ticket sales for the bowls and by expected television interest, and the consequent financial impact on ESPN and the bowls.
The pairings may not be altered by removing the Big 10 champion or Pac-12 champion from the Rose Bowl.

We might still be in an at large for the Sugar if we win out,and the coots don't win the SEC East.
If not it's back to Atlanta in all likelyhood.
P.S.It's now the Chic-Fil-A Bowl,not the Peach!

Last to make at-large selections. I know there has to be a legitimate reason for that.
