ACC Considering New College Football Scheduling Format; Would Eliminate Divisions

The ACC Championship Game could look drastically different as soon as the 2023 college football campaign.

Andrea Adelson and David M. Hale of ESPN reported commissioner Jim Phillips and multiple athletic directors discussed a new scheduling model that would have teams play three permanent opponents and then rotate the other five over a two-year period.

The 3-5-5 format would eliminate divisions and give programs more year-to-year variety in their schedules.

This comes after the NCAA Football Oversight Committee recommended conferences do not need divisions to hold a title game. Such a proposition is expected to pass when the Division I Council votes on it later this month.
