## Resource

ACC football chaos is finally getting a fix: after last season’s wild tiebreaker mess — where North Carolina stumbled to a 4-8 record while Duke sneaked into the championship game — the conference is overhauling its playoff system. Commissioner Jim Phillips unveiled a new tiebreaker prioritizing head-to-head wins, intra-group performance, and overall record to ensure the top two teams actually earn the title. For UNC, the road ahead is tougher: a QB battle and Belichick’s arrival haven’t sparked instant hope, but the new rules at least bring clarity — and a chance to prove they belong among the conference’s elite.
