we had conference divisions for a reason and the tiebreaker here is "higher conference opponent winning percentage" which is not something anybody — the players on the field, even the coaches — even had any control over
For real though. Chaos is great but having to watch a bad 7-5 Duke team in a conference title game while an actual good team sits home because of tiebreaker minutiae is just bad
This might be an unpopular take ... but if I'm the ACC and Cal upsets SMU, I override the tiebreakers and put Miami in the ACC championship game against Virginia.
