While the Orange won't be headed to the Orange Bowl, they could be paying a visit to Orange County this holiday season.

The Wolfpack have had more appearances in what is now the Russell Athletic Bowl than any other team and could be in line for another appearance in 2012.

At stake is not just a conference title, but also an Orange Bowl berth. Based on records alone (10-2 Florida State v. 6-6 Georgia Tech), the game appears to be a mismatch, but when there's this much at stake, never count out an underdog.

A win over Florida State in Charlotte would send the Yellow Jackets to the BCS. A loss to the Seminoles might remove them from bowl contention altogether at 6-7. If the Jackets are granted a waiver to allow postseason play, they could bring the nation's third-best rushing attack to Orlando.

Though a Louisville win will force a three-way tie in conference standings, the Cardinals would still earn the automatic BCS bid due to tiebreakers. The Scarlet Knights can earn that BCS berth outright with a victory.

Frank Beamer's teams always prove dangerous with an extra month to prepare.

First up, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

AdamSoucie Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:50:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:165198 http://www.russellathleticbowl.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=160427&PortalID=3&TabID=319 http://www.russellathleticbowl.com/news/tabid/319/rab/160427/ACC_Week_13_Preview.aspx The ACC has plenty on tap this weekend, including some very good rivalries. No. 4 Florida (10-1, 7-1 SEC) and No. 10 Florida State (10-1, 7-1 ACC) has almost become like a national championship semi-final provided some teams lose. After Miami (6-5, 4-3 ACC) self-imposed another bowl ban this week, Duke (6-5, 3-4 ACC) still needs a win to improve their bowl position. We gave that game an extended look with a weekend spotlight. Virginia Tech (5-6, 3-4 ACC) takes on Virginia (4-7, 2-5 ACC) with a chance to go to their sixth consecutive bowl. The Hokies lead the ACC in sacks with almost three a game. Georgia Tech (6-5, 5-3 ACC) heads to No. 3 Georgia (10-1, 7-1 SEC). The Yellow Jackets have the best run offense in the ACC and is third nationally with 324 yards a game. Georgia ranks in the middle of all teams nationally with over 150 rushing yards allowed per game. No. 11 Clemson (10-1, 7-1 ACC) has BCS at-large hopes on the line when they host rival No. 12 South Carolina (9-2, 6-2 SEC). The Tigers haven't dropped a game at home since losing to the Gamecocks in 2010. NC State (6-5, 3-4 ACC) looks to rebound after a 62-48 loss to Clemson last week as they take on Boston College (2-9, 1-6 ACC). The Wolfpack has the nations 16th best passing offense as they average over 300 yards a game. North Carolina (7-4, 4-3 ACC) looks to have an eight win season for the first time since 2010 as they take on Maryland (4-7, 2-5 ACC). Despite offensive woes, Maryland has the second best pass defense in the ACC. They give up less than 200 yards passing a game. In other non-conference action, Wake Forest (5-6, 3-5 ACC) hosts Vanderbilt (7-4, 5-3 SEC) as the Demon Deacons look to go to consecutive bowls for the first time since 2007-08.
