Both the ACC and SEC called out the practice of teams planting a flag on an opponent's field following a number of postgame fights over the practice during the past week.

"We have to collectively come together," ACC commissioner Jim Phillips told Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger. "We can do things independently as conferences, but we need to all come together, and our approach must be aggressive. This is unacceptable."

"There shouldn't be flag-planting. Go win the game and go to the locker room," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey added.
