I think it'll depend on the bowl. Like when Auburn played in the Peach or Outback, I could get tickets as a non student...It depends on alumni demand. Just follow the athletic department website around bowl selection time. But for bigger bowls, like BCS or Capital One, sometimes its tough to get tickets through the school because the donors will take up all the school's allotment. However, the bowls usually reserve a certain amount for general sale, so if I were you i'd pay attention to bowl predictions on collegefootballnews.com and sportsline.com come late november, and then as soon as youre sure (or willing to risk it) go to the website of the actual bowl game and get them if they're still available.
Regarding hotel, you ought to be fine, as Clemson will likely be 1st-3rd in the ACC. Start looking for good deals in Miami, otherwise you should be in ATL or Jacksonville unless Clemson loses a couple more.
