ACC’s New Tiebreaker System Explained | Miami Hurricanes Football News
Description
The ACC is overhauling its championship selection to ensure fairness and merit, after last year’s shocker where Duke — with five losses — beat Miami — the top-ranked contender — for the title, yet Miami still made the playoff. Starting in 2026, the new system prioritizes head-to-head matchups, then uses a strength-of-schedule metric to break ties, after extensive testing across 10,000 simulated seasons. The goal? Guarantee the two most deserving teams always get their shot at the ACC title and a playoff berth.
