The Boston College Eagles (7-5, 4-4 ACC) football team learned its bowl fate on Sunday afternoon. 

The Eagles are headed to the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., on Saturday, Dec.28 and will take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-6, 3-6 B1G) at noon ET on ABC.

So where did the rest of the ACC teams get placed? 

The conference earned two bids into the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff. The Clesmon Tigers earned the automatic bid after winning the ACC Championship 34-31 over the No. 11 SMU Mustangs on Saturday night on a 56-yard field goal as time expired. The Tigers will be the No. 12-seed and will travel to No. 5 Texas for the first round on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 4 p.m. ET on TNT. 

The Mustangs also received a spot in the playoff as the No. 11-seed for their 11-2 season and will travel to No. 6 Penn State on Saturday, Dec. 21 at noon ET on TNT. The decision was controversial as the last at-large bid came down to SMU and Alabama, however the Mustangs gained the advantage to get in. 

As for the remainder of the bowl games, Cal was selected into the Art of Sport LA Bowl, NC State will play in the Military Bowl, UNC in the Fenway Bowl, Georgia Tech in the Birmingham Bowl, Pitt in the Game Above Sports Bowl, Virginia Tech in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl, Louisville in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, Duke in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and Syracuse in the Holiday Bowl.
