CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) -- The Meineke Bowl is moving up one spot in
the Atlantic Coast Conference selection order in a new deal that
runs through 2013.

The Charlotte, N.C., bowl announced Thursday it will have the
ACC's fourth pick after the Bowl Championship Series starting
next year. The game has the fifth choice from the league this
year in a matchup against a Big East school.

The Meineke Bowl announced a similar four-year extension with
the Big East last month that gives it that league's third
choice.

The new ACC order will also guarantee that the Meineke Bowl will
not get the loser of the ACC championship game, which will also
be played in Charlotte starting in 2010.

This year's Meineke Bowl is Dec. 26 at Bank of America Stadium.
