Selection committee will put an SEC team in Orange by affiliation.
Did this change? I know a lot has changed due to the playoffs and I have not followed all the changes, but we used to be affiliated with the Sugar Bowl.

Just looked and saw that the Sugar is part of the Playoff this year, so the Orange Bowl would get the ACC #2 and a choice among SEC #2, B1G #2 or Notre Dame. GT (If they lose to Florida St.) would be the ACC #2, so I doubt they would pick a Georgia/GT rematch. Now if somehow, GT were to beat Florida State, and Florida State did not go to the playoff, then they might very well pick Florida State and us. I'm still not sold that two SEC teams would go to the playoffs, though.

I'm going to try and find this information, but I don't think the Orange bowl has to take the #2 ACC team if they aren't ranked, which is quite possible if Tech loses out and Clemson chokes against Carolina.

Wrong. If Tech wins against FSU then we go to Orange. Winner of ACC Champ gets automatic bid to Orange Bowl. If Winner of ACC goes to playoff, then the next highest ranked acc team goes to Orange Bowl.
