ATLANTA (AP) The Peach Bowl will have more than a new name in 2006.<br>
<br>
Bowl officials said Thursday that the payouts for next year's Chick-fil-A Bowl as the game will be known starting in 2006 will be increased to $3.25 million per team, up significantly from the $2.4 million awarded to Miami and LSU this season.<br>
<br>
Plus, the game will now choose the first available Atlantic Coast Conference team that isn't playing in the Bowl Championship Series. Until now, the Peach Bowl has had the second ACC non-BCS selection, with the Gator Bowl getting the first pick.<br>
<br>
``We're not a BCS bowl, but we try to think, act, look and do everything we can to promote ourself ... like a BCS bowl,'' said Peach Bowl president Gary Stokan.<br>
<br>
Bowl officials said the game has produced more than $500,000 in charitable donations this year, including $100,000 in gifts made to the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation and the LSU Hurricane Student Relief Fund.<br>
<br>
Chick-fil-A, the Peach Bowl title sponsor, entered into a $22 million, five-year deal last week to obtain the game's full naming rights.<br>
