Eight ACC teams made bowl games, with two of those teams making it to the BCS.
The ACC experienced a fairly average season, but they've still managed to get two teams into the BCS and a total of eight teams into bowl games. Virginia Tech has made it to the Sugar Bowl somewhat controversially after two losses to Clemson. That Clemson team is also in the BCS after winning the ACC Championship Game and will face West Virginia in the Orange Bowl.
North Carolina plays the ACC's first game on Dec. 26 and the conference is involved in six bowl games before January. The BCS games that Clemson and VT earned bids to are the only January bowls featuring ACC teams.
