Description

ACC chaos erupts as a five-way tie sends 7-5 Duke, who didn’t beat any fellow contenders head-to-head, into the conference championship against 10-2 Virginia. Does this broken tiebreaker protocol threaten the conference’s College Football Playoff bid? Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs spotlight the controversy, questioning Duke’s path and the fairness of winning percentage as the deciding factor.

The debate heats up around Miami’s playoff hopes, Notre Dame’s suspicious rankings jump, and whether the playoff committee will honor head-to-head results or established criteria. Insights range from the impact of coaching changes at Ole Miss and Florida State’s post-snub struggles to key rivalry weekend upsets and bowl eligibility woes. Can Virginia solidify a CFP slot, or will playoff chaos leave deserving teams on the sidelines? Critical analysis and strong opinions make this a must-listen for ACC football fans.
