The ACC has tie-ins to eight different bowls. (see below) The number represents the selection and not necessarily where a team finishes. So for example, after the BCS team is selected (winner of the ACC Championship game), then the Chick-fil-A (Peach) Bowl gets to select next. Then the Gator Bowl and on down the line.
