ACC Football Summary

The ACC has experienced tension with Notre Dame, highlighted by comments from Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua, who stated that the ACC has caused 'permanent damage' to their relationship. This sentiment arose after the ACC's decision to promote Miami for the College Football Playoff selection, which Bevacqua criticized as a slight against Notre Dame.

The ACC, facing scrutiny for this move, responded to Bevacqua's remarks, emphasizing the need for unity within the conference as it navigates its role in the evolving landscape of college football playoffs.

Meanwhile, the ACC has successfully secured its place without facing a playoff disaster this season, but concerns linger about the conference's future standing and influence in national conversations about playoff selections, as reported by The New York Times.

The fallout from these interactions could have long-term implications, especially as the ACC continues to position itself in a competitive college football environment, with ongoing discussions about the impact of these decisions on its member institutions.
