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.
Not wrong. Your IF wasn't part of scenario. I hope a 3 loss Tech team does beat FSU.
Scenario for Orange remains Louisville has to become 2nd highest ranked ACC school.

Ok...makes more sense now. Scenario stands and would require Moss State to lose or in playoffs and Louisville or FSU (Tech loss) to be highest ranked ACC since others would be rematch.
$27 mill on the line for SEC to get in that bowl over Big 10.
However, in the years the Rose and/or Sugar bowls host the national semifinals, the BCS commissioners have agreed that the Big Ten or SEC champion will not be placed in the Orange Bowl. Instead it will be placed in one of the three other access bowls. That decision was made to improve the value of the access bowls, sources told ESPN.
The ACC representative will play the highest available ranked team from Notre Dame, the SEC or the Big Ten. However, if the ACC's highest-ranked opponent would create a regular-season rematch, the Orange Bowl has the flexibility to avoid that rematch by taking the next highest-ranked team from Notre Dame, the SEC or Big Ten. The team that was "skipped" over would be placed in an access bowl as long as it meets the minimum ranking requirement.

Realdawg not talking about your scenario. I'm talking about Dawgs4life's scenario. He said if Tech beats FSU then Fsu might go to orange because they would still be ranked higher. But that is wrong because winner of acc has automatic bid to orange regardless of ranking. Ranking only matters when winner of acc goes to playoff.
