The Chick-fil-A will wait to make its selection until after the ACC championship game, bowl president Gary Stokan said Thursday.

Virginia Tech's widely speculated to be the ACC representative for the New Year's Eve game in Atlanta but Stokan said he's not going to make a final decision until after Clemson and Georgia Tech meet on Saturday night.

If Rick Catlett has his way, Bobby Bowden's final game at Florida State will be in the Gator Bowl against West Virginia.

Catlett, the president of the Gator Bowl, said Tuesday that his bowl has the right to invite Bowden, who announced his retirement on Tuesday, and the Seminoles despite their 4-4 ACC record.

If ECU beats Houston on Saturday for the Conference USA title, the Pirates will return to the Liberty Bowl in Memphis on Jan. 2 to face an SEC team, either Georgia, South Carolina or Auburn.

That's the easy part of ECU's bowl equation. A loss Saturday would put the Pirates in either Washington or Fort Worth, Texas.
