What does the BE have to do to get its bowls to pick by BE rank

From the ACC website...

The Konica Minolta 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 OR the first available Big East team after the BCS selections OR Notre Dame.

Not really. It was changed two years ago when the ACC Championship game was awarded to Jacksonville... the thinking was the ACC runner-up would not want to go to Jax a second time (in a row) one month later...  but again, remember, we're talking choices not places - so it's still possible, like last year, the runner-up could go back to Jacksonville.

Quit whining and just be happy a bowl will have to pick us over a 6-6 Louisville, and each game is a drivable distance (apart from toronto) and I'll be willing to bet you could find a fairly cheap spot to camp for accomidations (trust me I know).

This year will be USF bowl game done extremely cheaply!!  Unless we end up on toronto, in which case... I'll have to see how much gas would cost.
