ACC’s Jim Phillips defends league backing members in CFP bid chase amid Notre Dame AD’s criticism
Posted Dec 9, 2025
ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said the league has a “responsibility” to advocate for its football-playing members for College Football Playoff bids, coming after criticism from Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua tied to the league’s public support of Miami for a bid. The Fighting Irish were passed over for an at-large bid, with the Hurricanes getting into the 12-team field.
