The Official FFM2M ACC Bowl Predictions: Week 10

Last week in the ACC a lot of things were shaken up. The Hokies lost their once iron fisted grip over the league, the Heels took BC down a peg and both the Terps and Hoos solidified themselves as legitimate title contenders. With that being said the Coastal Division race is still as muddy as pond water while the Atlantic Division is speeding towards a November 22nd showdown between Ralph Friedgen and Bobby Bowden for supremacy.

So without further ado here are the Week 10 ACC Bowl Predictions:

Orange Bowl: Florida State

Bowden's boys have really turned heads. They physically beat down a Virginia Tech team last weekend and took over the lead dog position in the conference. Christian Ponder is truly emerging and the next GREAT FSU quarterback. Is it too early to fire up the CP for Heisman in 2010 campaign bus?

Peach Bowl: Georgia Tech

Paul Johnson is definitely a candidate for the ACC as well as National Coach of the year. He's got the Jackets playing some good football. Although they're currently second in the Coastal their losses to Virginia and Virginia Tech should be righted with the tough remaining schedules both Commonwealth schools have to play to get to Tampa this season. The option attack of the Wreck has tough show downs against FSU and UNC in back to back weeks but if they can split these games they will be playing at home in December.

Gator Bowl: Maryland

The Terps have finally put back to back games together and the Fridge's boys are definitely starting to get with the program. Darrius Heyward-Bey is igniting with the aid of Chris Turner and the Turtles are locked into winning the Atlantic. Dates against UNC and FSU will make their road difficult but the Terrapins have one of the more talented and experienced teams on both sides of the ball.

Champs Sports Bowl: Virginia

Some may argue that the Hoos have shot their wad already but with games against depleted Wake Forest and Clemson units before their finale against the Hokies the Cavaliers schedule is doable. The fact that they hold a tie breaker over the Tar Heels gives them the edge in reaching this fourth place bowl game and Al Groh saves his job from the fire; again.

Here's the rest of the ACC Bowl Picture:

Meineke Car Care Bowl: North Carolina

Charlotte loves the Heels and in Butch's second year reaching this fan friendly bowl won't be a disappointment.

Emerald Bowl: Boston College

A jaunt to San Francisco will be what Coach Jagz and his squad get as they limp down the home stretch with games against Notre Dame, Florida State and Maryland.

Music City Bowl: Virginia Tech

Hopefully Tyrod Taylor and Sean Glennon can get healthy, otherwise this game my be a stretch for the Hokies.

Humanitarian Bowl: Wake Forest

The Deacons magic appears to have expired and they'll be lucky to get out to Boise before all the wind leaves Jim Grobe's sails.

Eagle Bank Bowl: Miami

The last ACC team in should be the 'Canes, beating out Clemson, Duke and the Wolfpack for this trip to our nations capitol.
