Swofford: ACC prefers conference champs playoff model

AMELIA ISLAND - One of the biggest questions on the collective minds of college football fans is the ongoing debate surrounding the possible postseason playoff.

On Wednesday, ACC commissioner John Swofford weighed in on that debate.

"There is a lot of belief in our league that conference champions should matter," Swofford said adding that the model shouldn't just feature any conference champion but one that meets certain criteria, such as top five or six in ranking.

Swofford said after discussing with football coaches, athletic directors and football personnel, the consensus was that there was a "strong preference" to use the bowl games as sites for those playoff games, whether it be for the semis, the national championship or both.
