2019 STANDINGS

RETURN TO COMPETITIONThe ACC Board of Directors announced July 29 that if public health guidance allows, ACC sponsored fall sports would begin competition during the week of Sept. 7-12. The announcement followed several months of discussion and scenario planning among the league membership and Medical Advisory Group. Each decision is based on the best available medical guidelines and coincides with our universities’ academic missions. The Medical Advisory Group continues to meet and update its report.

2020 ACC Football:• The season’s first games will take place Sept. 10-12• The 2020 scheduling model includes 11 games (10 plus one: 10 conference and one non-conference)• All non-conference game opponents, selected by the respective school, must be played in the home state of the ACC institution, and all non-conference opponents must meet the medical protocol requirements as agreed upon by the ACC• The 11 games will be played over at least 13 weeks with each team having two open dates• There will be one division• Notre Dame will also play a 10-game conference schedule and be eligible to compete in the 2020 ACC Football Championship Game• All television revenue for the 2020 season, including Notre Dame’s home games broadcast by NBC, will be shared equally by all 15 institutions• The ACC Football Championship Game will be played on either December 12 or 19 at Bank of America Sta-dium in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will feature the top two teams based upon highest conference-game winning percentage • All 15 teams will continue to be part of the ACC’s bowl selection process; should Notre Dame win the ACC Football Championship Game it would be eligible for the Orange Bowl, if not selected as a College Football Playoff semifinal team

RETURNING STANDOUTS• For the first time in ACC history, the league returns two quarterbacks (North Carolina’s Sam Howell and Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence) who threw 35 or more touchdown passes the previous season. Add in Miami’s D’Eriq King, who threw 36 TDs in 2018 at Houston, and the ACC has the only three QBs in the country playing this fall who have thrown 35 or more touchdowns in a single season. The only other returning quarterback who threw 35-plus touchdowns last year was Ohio State’s Justin Fields.

• The ACC is the only FBS conference with two return-ing 1,500-yard rushers in Clemson’s Travis Etienne (1,604 yards) and Louisville’s Javian Hawkins (1,525 yards). The only other time the ACC returned two 1,500-yard backs was 2016 with Florida State’s Dalvin Cook and Clemson’s Wayne Gallman. North Carolina’s Michael Carter (1,003 yards in 2019) gives the ACC three returning 1,000-yard rushers.

• Clemson is the first ACC team since Florida State in 1995 to return the first-team all-conference quar-terback (Trevor Lawrence) and a first-team running back (Travis Etienne). The 1995 FSU team returned QB Danny Kanell and RB Warrick Dunn.

ETIENNE AIMS FOR THIRD POY AWARD• Clemson running back Travis Etienne returned for his senior season and has an opportunity to become the first player in ACC history to win player of the year honors three times. Last season, he became the seventh player in league history to be voted ACC Player of the Year twice and the second in a four-year span (Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson in 2016-17). He is also the first running back since North Carolina’s Mike Voight (1975-76) to win the honor in multiple years.

• The six players to win the award twice are NC State’s Roman Gabriel (QB) in 1960 & 1961, North Carolina’s Don McCauley (RB) in 1969 & 1970, North Carolina’s Mike Voight (RB) in 1975 & 1976, Clemson’s Steve Fuller (QB) in 1977 & 1978, Florida State’s Charlie Ward (QB) in 1992 & 1993, and Louisville’s Lamar Jackson (QB) in 2016 & 2017.

• The only player in a Power 5 conference to win three league Player of the Year awards was Georgia’s Herschel Walker (1980, 1981 & 1982).

CHASING RECORDS• Etienne enters the season just 564 yards shy of the ACC career rushing record held since 1978 by NC State’s Ted Brown. Etienne already holds the ACC career record for rushing touchdowns (56) and total touchdowns (62).

• Etienne is also 14th in ACC history with 5,122 career all-purpose yards. He is chasing former Tiger C.J. Spiller, who had 7,588 yards from 2006-09. North Carolina’s Leon Johnson is second with 5,828 yards.

• Trevor Lawrence has thrown for 66 touchdowns in two seasons at Clemson, which ranks 11th in ACC history. The top three in the ACC are Tajh Boyd of Clemson with 107, Philip Rivers of NC State with 95 and Deshaun Watson of Clemson with 90. Lawrence enters the season having attempted 239 consecutive passes without an interception, which is the fifth-longest streak in league history. The ACC mark of 379 was set by NC State’s Russell Wilson.

• Pitt place-kicker Alex Kessman has booted eight field goals of more than 50 yards in his career, which is just one shy of the ACC mark held by Wake Forest’s Sam Swank (2005-08).

ACC COMMITTEE FOR RACIAL & SOCIAL JUSTICEThe ACC’s Committee for Racial and Social Justice (CORE - Champions of Racial Equity) announced three initiatives in conjunction with its member institutions on Sept. 3. • Mandatory diversity and inclusion training for stu-dent-athletes, athletic department and conference staff• Creation of ACC Unity Symbol as a visual representation of solidarity among the ACC’s 15 institutions• ACC Unity Statement to be read prior to every league contest “I applaud the work of ACC CORE and the initiatives collaborated on and adopted by our schools,” said ACC Com-missioner John Swofford. “It is critically important for our country to unite as one. The ACC is committed to creating meaningful change, eradicating racism, and upholding the values of equality, diversity and non-discrimination." “In a time of great challenges where society seems more divided than ever before, we the student-athletes of the ACC want to take a stand against racism, discrimination and any other form of injustice,” said Leon Krapf from the NC State Men’s Soccer Team and the ACC’s representative to NCAA SAAC. “As athletes, we know that sport has the power to unite people from all backgrounds. However, we are more than just athletes. Therefore, we want to use our platforms to advocate for a more tolerant, understanding and inclusive environment on our campuses and beyond. We will overcome our current challenges if we act together and united. #UNITE!” Student-athletes, athletic department and conference office staff will be required to attend annual diversity and inclu-sion training. The initiative was unanimously approved by the conference athletic directors. The focus of this year’s training will be anti-racism. The ACC’s unity symbol – “UNITE” – will be displayed in venues and on video boards throughout the league, as well as at ACC Championship events and on social media. CORE also has introduced a Unity Statement, which will be read at all ACC events: “We, the ACC, are committed to seeing each other as equals, supporting each other, and treating each other with respect and dignity at all times, recognizing that our differences don't divide us, but they make us stronger.” CORE’s work is ongoing and guided by its mission statement, which is “to promote and encourage racial equity and social justice through education, partnerships, engagement and advocacy.” Among CORE’s actions to date: the ACC Office’s recognition of Juneteenth as a holiday; working with its institutions to increase voter education and vote, with some ACC schools serving as polling places; engaging in conversations and education throughout the conference with staff and student-athletes and initiating partnerships with local orga-nizations and community groups; empowering students and student-athletes to engage with fans around the topic of social justice to minimize misunderstandings. CORE’s central values and goals:• Create meaningful, lasting change by improving systems, organizational structures, policies, practices and attitudes• Have representation at all levels that is reflective of the make-up of the student-athlete population• Inclusion and empowerment of diverse individuals• Accountability for hiring practices• Integrity• Fairness

Weekly Release | 2020 Football • 5

n Two new coaches will join the ACC in 2020, Boston College's Jeff Hafley and Florida State's Mike Norvell. Hafley comes to Chestnut Hill after a successful stint as Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator. He was a finalist for the 2019 Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach. Norvell takes over in Tallahassee after spending the last four seasons as the head coach at Memphis, compiling a record of 38-15, including the 2019 American Athletic Conference championship. His .717 winning percentage is the highest in Memphis history and ranks 10th among active coaches with at least four years of experience at the FBS level.

n Twelve head coaches in the ACC have won at least 50 career games, including five with more than 100 victories. North Carolina’s Mack Brown is tops among active coaches with 251 wins, and Notre Dame's Brian Kelly (coaching in the ACC for the first year) has 242. The other 100-win coaches in the ACC are Clemson’s Dabo Swinney (130), Wake Forest’s Dave Clawson (126), Virginia’s Bronco Mendenhall (124) and Duke’s David Cutcliffe (116). No other conference has as many coach-es with 100 career wins.

n Among active coaches, Dabo Swinney of Clemson, Scott Satterfield of Louisville, North Carolina’s Mack Brown and Notre Dame's Brian Kelly rank among the top 25 in the nation in career winning percentage. Swinney’s .807 winning percentage leads the nation.

n Two of the five active coaches to win a national title reside in the ACC. Dabo Swinney led Clemson to national titles in 2016 and 2018. North Carolina’s Mack Brown won a national title at Texas in 2005.

n Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is one win shy of FSU’s Bobby Bowden’s ACC mark for bowl victories, which includes CFP National Championship Games.

COACHING RECORDS 2020 ACC FOOTBALL TIEBREAKER POLICYThe ACC Champion will be decided by a game between the two postseason eligible teams with the highest percentage of wins during all regular season conference competition.

However, for any team to be eligible for the ACC Football Championship Game, or to be considered in a tiebreak-er, such team must have played within one (1) total conference game of the average number of conference games played by all conference teams (rounding up/down at .5) during the 2020 season. For example, if the average number of conference games played in the 2020 season is 9.25 (value of nine (9) when rounded down), a team would be eligible to participate in the ACC Football Championship Game, or be considered in a tiebreaker, if that team played eight (8) or more conference games. Furthermore, in the event there is an unequal total number of conference games played among teams tied in the loss column, head-to-head results will take precedence over win-percentage.

If teams remain tied, existing procedures will be applied to determine the ACC Football Championship Game represen-tative(s). Overall conference standings will be calculated on a percentage basis, using the ten conference games which are part of the schedule. If teams are tied for the best win percentage or second best win percentage in its conference games then, in order to determine the Championship Game representative, the procedures listed below will be followed.

Two-Team Tie1. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.2. Head-to-head competition versus the team with the best overall win percentage and proceeding though the con-ference. Multiple ties within the conference will be broken from first to last using the league’s tiebreaker policies.3. Overall win percentage versus all common conference opponents.4. Win percentage versus common conference opponents based upon their order of finish (overall conference win percentage) and proceeding through other common conference opponents based upon their conference order of finish.5. The tied team with the higher ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games.6. The representative shall be chosen by a draw as admin-istered by the Commissioner or Commissioner’s designee.

Three-Team (or More) Tie(Three-team (or more) tiebreaker procedure will be used to break all ties to identify the Championship game representative. Once a team is eliminated from the tie, the tiebreaker procedures restart for the remaining teams. If the three-team (or more) tie can be reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker format will then be applied).1. Combined head-to-head win percentage among the tied teams.2. Head-to-head competition versus the team within the conference with the best overall conference win percentage and proceeding through the conference. Multiple ties within the conference will be broken first to last, using the league’s tiebreaker policies.3. Combined win percentage versus all common confer-ence opponents.4. Win percentage versus common conference opponents based upon their order of finish (overall conference win percentage) and proceeding through other common conference opponents based upon their conference order of finish.5. The tied team with the higher ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games.6. The representative shall be chosen by a draw as admin-istered by the Commissioner or Commissioner’s designee.Note: Conference games against otherwise postseason ineligible teams will always be counted in the league stand-ings and in application of the tie breaker policies.
