The 2022 ACC football season will be the conference's last year with the current two-division format, the ACC announced Tuesday.
Starting in 2023, the 14 teams will compete in a single division, and the top two will meet in the ACC title game. The schedule will feature a 3-5-5 format in which each team gets three permanent rivals and five opponents that will alternate year-to-year.
"The future ACC football scheduling model provides significant enhancements for our schools and conference, with the most important being our student-athletes having the opportunity to play every school both home and away over a four-year period," ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said in a statement.
The ACC had a similar format during the 2020 season when Notre Dame temporarily joined because of COVID-19 restrictions. Clemson defeated top-seeded Notre Dame for the conference title, avenging a loss from earlier in the season.
