Here are what the experts are saying about the ACC and possible Bowl games for the 2009 College football season.

UNC’s loss likely ruined its chance at a better bowl game, while Miami became a more attractive pick with its nine-win season and could wind up in the Gator Bowl. At this point, there are still a lot of options on the table, depending upon who wins the ACC championship game.

Whichever team loses will be on a two-game losing streak heading into bowl season, and could fall as low as the Music City Bowl in the selection process. It’s a toss-up as to who will wind up in the Orange Bowl, but one thing is for sure — Georgia Tech’s defense isn’t as good as South Carolina’s, so the Tigers should have more success offensively in the title game. That being said, I have no idea who’s going to win that game.

Here are the latest bowl projections for the ACC:

FedEx Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. BCS at large

Chick-fil-A Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. SEC

Gator Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Big East or Notre Dame

Champs Sports Bowl: Miami vs. Big Ten

Music City Bowl: North Carolina vs. SEC

Meineke Car Care Bowl: Florida State vs. Big East

Emerald Bowl: Boston College vs. Pac-10

Here is what the experts are saying about the SEC and Bowl games this 2009 Football Season.

The Outback gets first choice out of the East and the Cotton first choice out of the West after the Capital One selects. But since Ole Miss went to the Cotton Bowl last year, there may be a deal worked out where the Rebels go to the Outback this year and Tennessee to the Cotton. The Vols finished in a tie with Georgia for second place in the East, but beat the Bulldogs head-to-head.

The Chick-fil-A Bowl also has a tough choice. South Carolina became a lot more attractive with its win over Clemson. But with Georgia beating Georgia Tech, there will be a lot of pressure to keep the Bulldogs close to home there in Atlanta. Plus, Georgia beat South Carolina head-to-head and finished a game better than the Gamecocks in the SEC standings.

Here’s the way I see the bowl lineup shaking out heading into this weekend’s SEC championship game:

BCS National Championship Game: Alabama vs. BCS team

Allstate Sugar Bowl: Florida vs. BCS team

Capital One Bowl: LSU vs. Big Ten team

Outback Bowl: Ole Miss vs. Big Ten team

Cotton Bowl: Tennessee vs. Big 12 team

Chick-fil-A Bowl: Georgia vs. ACC team

Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl: South Carolina vs. ACC team

Autozone Liberty Bowl: Arkansas vs. Conference USA team

Advocare Independence Bowl: Auburn vs. Big 12 team

Papajohns.com Bowl: Kentucky vs. Big East team
