Swofford, the ACC, and Playoffs
Posted Jun 28, 2012
In an interview with ESPN moments after the announcement, ACC Commissioner John Swofford expressed satisfaction with the new playoff format. "I think the first thing it does for the ACC is what it does for every team out there in our division (Division I), it gives four teams rather than two the opportunity to play on the field for the national championship. So that access is there for all of us if you have a team that is good enough," Swofford said.
