The ACC got a bit bigger this year thanks to chaotic conference realignment nationwide and added Cal, Stanford and SMU to the mix for a total of 17 teams.
With the additions, the conference eliminated the Atlantic and Coastal divisions, so that coupled with the number of teams and not being able to play every squad in the conference, ties in the ACC standings at the end of the regular season are possible. And that could complicate how the two teams in the conference title game are determined.
