Despite swirling rumors that Virginia would receive a bid to play in the Dec. 22 Tangerine Bowl yesterday or today, Athletic Director Craig Littlepage said last night that Virginia would not know their bowl fate until next weekend.
"There were a couple false starts and I got word about six this evening through the ACC office that the bowls that we have a tie-in with are all going to wait until Saturday's games before doing anything," he said.
It appeared likely Virginia would be headed to Orlando for the Tangerine Bowl until ACC third-place Clemson routed South Carolina last night, 63-17, prompting more attention from the Gator and Peach Bowls for the Tigers.
A win over Virginia Tech would likely send them to Orlando (ACC No. 4) or back to the Continental Tire Bowl against a Big East opponent.
A loss might result in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, as that could send the Hokies to the CTB, excluding Virginia.
