Executive director Bernie Olivas said a consensus of the Sun Bowl committee was not reached on whether to select Arizona or USC, but that one of those two teams will probably play in the New Year's Eve game. He said he will consult with the Pac-12 Conference office Tuesday. Arizona has support on the Sun Bowl committee because of its proximity to El Paso, while USC is a big name brand. Arizona State and Washington are available but have been mostly ruled out.
The ACC side of the equation is completely up in the air. By contract, the Sun Bowl is required to select the ACC championship game loser if no one ahead of the Sun Bowl takes it, and if Georgia Tech goes to 6-7 with a loss to heavily favored Florida State, and if (as expected) the NCAA gives it an exemption that would allow it to play in a bowl with a losing record, it would almost certainly fall to the Sun Bowl. However, the Sun Bowl also has a clause that allows it to bypass a team that came here last year, which Georgia Tech did. The Sun Bowl will consult with the ACC office about bypassing Georgia Tech so it can take someone else, probably 6-6 Virginia Tech or 7-5 North Carolina State.
What a crappy potential matchup that the ACC is putting out there. Sun Bowl may need to start looking at a MAC conference team. The ACC has fallen below the MAC in terms of just the quality of teams that they are fielding

when does the sunbowl contract end with the acc? we need out. that is a poor conference. the sunbowl is a big game.. we sell out or come close every year. we should be able to get better quality teams. really we should get better teams. big 10 or big 12 we can and should pay out more to bring in these better teams.

USC and Virginia Tech!!!!!! Make it happen

As a USC fan, after seeing the 2012 Sun Bowl game and the inexcusable behavior leading up to the game of USC coach Kiffin, the players and excuse-making staff, I want to apologize to the City of El Paso, it's people, the Sun Bowl officials who worked hard to put on a bowl game and invited USC, the Georgia Tech team who played with heart and their family of fans and all who enjoy watching football bowl games. Clearly, the team underachieved this year and totally lost heart midway through the season, but there was no excuse for what they said and did. Even after losing Matt Barkley, I've never seen a Trojan team give up. Kiffin bears the responsibility for this hideous display. AD Pat Hayden is a stand up guy and the blow back from this disaster will be epic.
