AdvoCare V100 (Shreveport): Boston College. This remains the tricky part of the ACC bowl pecking order. Boston College made no secret this week of its desire to try to find a way into the Heart of Dallas Bowl as an at-large option, and bowl officials in Shreveport know none of the remaining ACC teams will bring a large contingent. The Eagles (7-5), though, would bring star tailback Andre Williams, and that seems like it would be a differentiating factor. Military (Annapolis): Maryland. If the Terrapins (7-5) are on the board, theyre going to Annapolis to play Marshall (which accepted an invitation on Saturday after losing the Conference USA title game). If Marylands not on the board, Syracuse would make a lot of sense here. But common sense says the Terps stay close to home in their last football appearance as an ACC school. Little Caesars Pizza (Detroit): Pittsburgh. Its less than a five-hour drive from Pittsburgh to Ford Field, so this is a smart geographic fit for the Panthers (6-6). While playing a bowl game the day after Christmas isnt ideal, Pittsburgh has grown accustomed to the post-New Years trek to Birmingham. In comparison, this might be more convenient for all involved. This game isn't part of the ACC's bowl agreements. Heart of Dallas (Dallas): Syracuse. A third trip in four years to the Pinstripe Bowl is out after Notre Dame accepted an invitation to head to New York. So whats left in the Eastern and Central time zones? Either this New Years Day game or the Dec. 23 Beef OBradys Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla. The guess here is a trek to Texas as Syracuse finds a place outside the ACC's bowl partners.
