UNC Football: ACC announced new scheduling configuration

Back in May, we got the official news that the NCAA was eliminating the rule that a conference had to have divisions or play a true round robin in order to hold a football conference championship game. That opened up the possibility of a conference sending it’s two best teams to their championship game, instead of teams from predetermined divisions, which could occasionally get uneven. (Insert certain people yelling about the ACC Coastal.)

On Tuesday, the ACC announced that it would be one of the conference opting to take advantage of this new rule and will change schedule formats starting with the 2023 season.
