The ACC is "the best conference in college football," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said after his team's victory over SEC power Alabama in the national championship game.
No. 3 Clemson is one of six Atlantic Coast Conference teams ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll. The ACC tied the SEC for most teams ranked in the poll this week.
If the ACC Atlantic Division ends in a three-way tie, a "team rating score metric" determined by a contractor will determine who plays for the title.
The ACC football championship game will no longer be played in Charlotte, North Carolina, as the conference has followed the NCAA's lead concerning HB2.
North Carolina argued that its accreditation agency -- and not the NCAA -- is the proper authority to handle problems tied to irregular courses.
The ACC, in partnership with ESPN, is expected to launch its own conference network by Aug. 2019, according to sources.
