MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- A team from the Atlantic Coast Conference will face the top selection from the Mid-American Conference in the GMAC Bowl in Mobile next year.
The ACC will send its ninth pick to Mobile.
The new agreement was reached after the ACC's contract expired with the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho. The ACC will take the place of Conference USA, which has sent a team to the GMAC Bowl in each of the 10 years the game has been in existence.
GMAC Bowl president Jerry Silverstein said Monday if fewer than nine ACC teams are bowl eligible, the Mobile game can pick an available bowl-eligible team from any another conference.
The game is scheduled to be played Jan. 6.
