The Atlantic Coast Conference champion will be the host for the 1989 Citrus Bowl football game Jan. 2, after all. The selection committee voted against invoking an exclusion clause with the ACC, a decision that could pave the way for 16th-ranked Clemson to defend its bowl championship.
Clemson, which beat Penn State in last year’s Citrus Bowl, can clinch the ACC title Saturday with a victory at Maryland.
The Citrus Bowl selection committee also announced it has targeted the Big Eight runner-up, UCLA, Syracuse and Miami as its leading contenders to face the ACC champion.
