ACC Changes Conference Title Game Tiebreakers Following Miami-Duke Controversy

The ACC overhauled its tiebreaker after last season’s controversy when five‑loss Duke reached the title game over then‑No. 10 Miami.
Effective 2026, the new policy prioritizes head‑to‑head results, adjusts for uneven conference schedules, and uses a SportSource Analytics CFP metric if needed.
The change is a bridge until schedules normalize (most teams on nine games by 2027) and was vetted with 10,000+ simulated seasons.
