College Football Jacksonville Fl

In what bowl game will Florida State play (2008)?

I'd like to get some tickets to go out and support the home team, but I'm not sure where we will be playing.

Florida State finished the season 8-4 overall, 5-3 in the ACC. I see some projections online saying we will play in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, FL. Would any of you college football experts care to take a crack at how likely that is?

The Gator Bowl gets the 2nd choice of ACC teams, behind the Chick-fil-A Bowl, after the BCS game. Either Virginia Tech (8-4/5-3) or Boston College (9-3/5-3) will go to the Orange Bowl.
That leaves these teams in the ACC to pick from:
1. Georgia Tech (9-3)/5-3)
2. Boston College (if they lose the ACC title game) (9-4/5-3)
3. Virginia Tech (if they lose the ACC title game (8-5/5-3)
4. Florida St (8-4/5-3)
The Chick-fil-A Bowl will probably choose Georgia Tech. That leave the Gator Bowl to choose between the Virginia Tech/Boston College loser and Florida St. If Boston College wins the ACC, Florida St should go to the Gator Bowl against Nebraska. But if Virginia Tech wins, Florida St will probably go to the Champs Sports Bowl against Northwestern or Iowa.
