ACC bowl lineup
Submitted by jpg on 05/08/2009 - 11:31
Goodbye, Boise. Hello, Mobile.
The Blue Turf and the dreaded trip to Idaho in December is history for the ACC. The conference's deal with the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise has ended. The ACC has added a deal with the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala. for a ninth bowl eligible team.
The EagleBank Bowl, in its second year, moves from before Christmas to after (Dec. 29), making that date more attractive.
The Meineke Bowl is earlier (Dec. 26) and everything else is status quo for the ACC and its bowl partners.
The lineup:
| Bowl | Opponent | Date |
Location |
| Orange | BCS | Jan. 5 | Miami |
| Chick-fil-A | SEC | Dec. 31 | Atlanta |
| Gator | Big East | Jan. 1 | Jacksonville |
| Champs | Big Ten | Dec. 29 | Orlando |
| Music City | SEC | Dec. 27 | Nashville |
| Meineke | Big East | Dec. 26 | Charlotte |
| Emerald | Pac-10 | Dec. 26 | San Francisco |
| EagleBank | C-USA | Dec. 29 | Washington |
| GMAC | MAC |
Jan. 6 | Mobile, Ala. |
Note: Army also has a tie-in with the EagleBank Bowl.
