Chick-fil-A Bowl will be played Dec. 31

The Chick-fil-A Bowl will be played at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 31 in the Georgia Dome, officials announced Tuesday.

The game, matching the first non-BCS ACC selection against an SEC team, will be televised by ESPN. This will mark the 20th consecutive year the two conferences met in the 44th game.

Florida State defeated South Carolina 26-17 last year to give the ACC a 10-9 advantage in the rivalry. That game had a 5.0 rating and a peak of 8.4 million viewers, making it the most-viewed Chick-fil-A Bowl and the top rated non-BCS game on ESPN.
