Gator Bowl—Kentucky leading Clemson, with a chance to control the middle 8.
Kentucky has some beasts in the front 6
Clemson D is tough on 1st and 2nd, but falls apart on 3rd, so far

Note to self: ACC is assigned lessor tiered bowls because advertisers rule.
As we approach playoffs ACC has 2 bowls, Big 10 5 or 6 and SEC has about 7.

Advertisers pay $$ for what they see as valuable content.
Assigned? Didn’t the ACC negotiate to lock in these specific bowls? From the ACC,

“The ACC and its bowl partners will make team selections based on several factors, including geographic proximity, avoiding repeat appearances and matchups, and regular-season won-loss records.
  • Cheez-It Bowl (Orlando, Florida) vs. Big 12
  • Duke's Mayo Bowl (Charlotte, North Carolina) vs. SEC (2021, 2023, 2025) or Big Ten (2020, 2022, 2024)
  • Fenway Bowl (Boston, Massachusetts) vs. American
  • Military Bowl (Annapolis, Maryland) vs. American
  • New Era Pinstripe Bowl (New York City) vs. Big Ten
  • Outback Bowl (Tampa, Florida) – if the ACC’s opponent in a non-semifinal Capital One Orange Bowl is from the Big Ten
  • San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl (San Diego, California) vs. Pac-12
  • TaxSlayer Gator Bowl (Jacksonville, Florida) vs. SEC
  • Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl (El Paso, Texas) vs. Pac-12

ESPN Events and the following bowls will collaborate on the selection of one ACC team.
  • Gasparilla Bowl (Tampa, Florida)
  • SERVPRO First Responder Bowl (Dallas, Texas)
  • TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl (Birmingham, Alabama)”

Makes you wonder what happens to all of the Pac 12 bowl tie-ins. They had 7 bowl tie ins and 2 were against the ACC (San Diego Holiday Bowl and Sun Bowl). With only 2 teams in the Pac 12 in 2024, obviously this has to change. With all of the teams moving to new conferences in 2024, assume there will be lots of jockeying on bowl tie-ins.
