The Seminoles (6-6, 4-4 in ACC) will close out their 2019 season and turn the page to 2020 and the Mike Norvell era in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas against Arizona State (7-5, 4-5 in Pac-12) on New Year's Eve. The game will be at 2 p.m. at Sun Bowl Stadium and will be broadcast on CBS.
Here's why: A couple years back the Pac-12 announced that, as a league, it would turn down all bowl invites to 5-7 teams. Technically, you're supposed to have six wins to be eligible for a bowl game, but the spots have to be filled, so when it goes down to the 5-7 teams they pick them based on APR.
Bowl games that have a contract with a conference must select a team with at least seven wins if one is available. Any bowl berths that become eligible when a conference fails to meet its contracted tie-ins must first be filled by any eligible seven-win teams before any remaining FBS 6–6 teams can be accommodated.
