It’s early enough in the season that no one in the ACC is as of yet out of the running for a bowl game of some sort, and most projections are steady with nine or ten of the conference (plus Notre Dame) playing the extra game. With that in mind, there’s not right much controversy as to which ACC teams will and won’t be going bowling, with a clear line between the haves and have-nots of the conference. Out of eight projections:
| School | Record | Projected In |
|---|---|---|
| Clemson | 4-0 | 8 |
| Duke | 4-0 | 8 |
| Virginia Tech | 4-0 | 8 |
| Notre Dame | 3-1 | 8 |
| Louisville | 3-1 | 8 |
| NC State | 3-1 | 8 |
| Florida State | 0-2 | 8 |
| Wake Forest | 4-0 | 7 |
| Georgia Tech | 2-1 | 7 |
| Miami (FL) | 2-0 | 7 |
| Virginia | 3-1 | 5 |
| Syracuse | 2-2 | 1 |
| North Carolina | 1-3 | 1 |
| Pitt | 1-3 | 1 |
| Boston College | 1-3 | 0 |
