The Orange Bowl has to take an ACC team. Clemson will go to the CFP so they need to take the next highest ranked team in the ACC. If there are no ranked teams then they can pick whoever they want from the bowl eligible ACC teams. Here's how we make it:
Scenario 1
1. VT beats Pitt
2. Winner of VT/VA lose to Clemson.
- VA, VT, Pitt, Louisville, and UM have 4 losses. Wake has 3 losses. (...if everyone wins out aside of the scenario losses)
Scenario 2
1. Pitt beats VT and BC
2. VT beats VA
3. Pitt goes to ACC Championship and loses to Clemson
This will result in the same as Scenario 1.
Scenario 3
1. Pitt beats VT and BC
2. VA beats VT
3. VA goes to ACC Championship and loses to Clemson
- VA, VT, Louisville, and UM have 4 losses. Pitt and Wake have 3 losses. (...if everyone wins out aside of the scenario losses)
More then likely, the OB will take who will make the most revenue, fill the stadium, and get the most people to watch. The percentage that the OB will pick us is pretty high in scenarios 1 and 2 since we will draw a bigger crowd and tv viewers then any of the other 4 loss teams or a 3 loss Wake team. Scenario 3 has Pitt and Wake with 3 losses which will make it a little harder for them to pick us especially since Pitt should be ranked at that point. So pull for scenario 1 or 2 and wait and see if the OB picks us.
