Who plays in the Duke's Mayo Bowl 2026?
The Duke's Mayo Bowl has tie-ins with the ACC (or Notre Dame) and the SEC, per FBSchedules. A tie-in gives a conference a spot in the game, and the bowl and the conference choose which eligible team fills it.
Tie-ins are not guarantees. When a conference does not have enough bowl-eligible teams, or sends extra teams to the College Football Playoff, the spot goes to a team from another league.

What moves a bowl game line
- Opt-outs: players headed to the NFL draft sometimes skip non-playoff bowls.
- The transfer portal, which opens before many bowls are played.
- Coaching changes, including interim coaches calling plays.
- The layoff: most teams have not played in three weeks or more.
These factors make bowl lines move more than regular-season lines. Our guide on how to bet on college football explains spreads, totals and moneylines.
