* The ACC's automatic representative in the BCS will be the winner of the Dr. Pepper ACC Football Championship Game. That team will play in the FedEx Orange Bowl, if not ranked No. 1 or 2 in the BCS.
* Bowl Selections will most likely be available after the conclusion of the Dr. Pepper ACC Football Championship Game.
* Following the automatic BCS selection, and if no other ACC team is selected as an at-large team in the BCS, the selection order will be as follows:
The Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta, Ga. (Dec. 30, 8 p.m. ET on ESPN) has the first selection of ACC teams after the BCS. The team chosen must be within one conference victory of the remaining, highest-ranked ACC team or be ranked more than five spaces ahead of the ACC team with the best Conference record available in the Final BCS Standings. Opponent is the Southeastern Conference's third or fourth pick after the BCS.
The Toyota Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. (Jan. 1, 1 p.m. ET on CBS) has the second selection of ACC teams after the BCS commitments are fulfilled. If not the next available team in the ACC standings, then must be within one conference win of the second-place team or be ranked more than five spaces ahead of the ACC team with the best Conference record available in the Final BCS Standings. The opponent is the third selection out of the Big 12 Conference after the BCS Selections have been made (two years) or the first available Big East team (two years) after the BCS selections or Notre Dame.
The Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. (Dec. 28, 8 p.m. ET on ESPN) has the third pick of ACC teams after the BCS. If not the next available team in the ACC standings, then the team must be within one conference win of the available team with the best Conference record, or be ranked more than five spaces ahead of the ACC team with the best Conference record available in the Final BCS Standings. The opponent is from the Big 10 Conference and is its third or fourth selection after the BCS.
The Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tn. (Dec. 29, 1 pm ET on ESPN);
The Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. (Dec. 30, 1 p.m. ET, on ESPN) and
The Emerald Bowl in San Francisco, Calif. (Dec. 27, 8 pm ET on ESPN) share the fourth, fifth and sixth selections of ACC teams after the BCS. These bowls will submit their top three preferences of ACC bowl-eligible teams to the Conference Office in order to make the best selections from the available teams and bowls. If an agreement cannot be reached, then a financial ranking will be used to determine the selection order which would be:
1. Music City Bowl
2. Meineke Car Care Bowl
3. Emerald Bowl
If the order is used to determine selection then if the bowl selecting does not choose the next available team in the ACC standings, then the bowl must choose a team within one conference win of the ACC team available with the best Conference record. The bowl could also choose an ACC team that is ranked more than five spaces ahead of the ACC team with the best Conference record available in the Final BCS Standings.
The opponent for the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl will be the fifth selection of teams after the BCS from the SEC. The opponent for Meineke Car Care Bowl after the 2006 season will either be the U.S. Naval Academy, if Navy manages at least a 6-6 record, or the second selection of teams from the Big East after the BCS Selections. (Navy has accepted the a bid for the 2006 Meineke Car Care Bowl.) After the 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons, the opponent will be the second selection of Big East teams after the BCS Selections. The Emerald Bowl opponent will be the third or fourth selection after the BCS from the Pac-10 Conference.
The MPC Computers Bowl in Boise, Idaho (Dec. 27, 8 p.m., ET on ESPN) has the seventh pick of ACC teams after the BCS. If the MPC Bowl does not select the ACC team available with the best Conference record, it must select a team within one win of the ACC team available with the best Conference record. Also, MPC could take a team ranked more than five spaces ahead of the ACC team available with the best Conference record. The opponent is either the champion, or the second choice of teams in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
ACC Divisional Champion Protection
The ACC Divisional Champion which does not win the ACC Dr. Pepper Championship Game is guaranteed to be selected by one of four bowl games from among the Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Toyota Gator Bowl, the Champs Sports Bowl or the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, unless the team desires to go to another ACC-affiliated bowl game.

This is how the BCS Bowl structure works:
BCS National Championship Game
#1 versus #2
Rose Bowl
Big Ten Champ versus Pac Ten Champ
Sugar Bowl
SEC Champ versus BCS At-Large
Orange Bowl
ACC Champ versus BCS At-Large
Fiesta Bowl
Big Twelve Champ versus Big East Champ
Then, if any of those teams are picked to the title game, then the bowl they would have went to gets another At Large selection.

I don't think we should...since this is post restart and is the official official league we should let things play out as they may. If I end up 3rd so be it...Baylor realistically shouldn't challenge year 1 anyway. Adds on to the "build your team" point of this dynasty.

Ok, well when should we start doing so? Next year? Two years?
I know in other dynasties we often make the other NC invitee take a dive so the #3 ranked user can play the other user in a NC game.

Good question...I always thought of it as a way of correcting stupid CPU ranking errors. Like having a 1 loss or undefeated Boise/TCU team ahead of an undefeated BCS conference squad. I know we have done it before...but I thought we did it more for that reason or for when the dynasty is fading out and we need more interest.

I think it should play out naturally... We have two undefeated teams from BCS conferences going at it. While I am shocked Wash is there, if any of our teams were CPU controlled and made it to the game, it would be more shocking than Washington... I think if we build our programs, we will get there naturally. We will all be ranked higher going into next season because of our records this season...
