Though,

That isn’t going to be the case much longer as as the Atlantic Coast Conference became the latest conference to get rid of divisions in favor of a new scheduling format Starting in 2023, the league announced it will move to a 3-5-5 format, in which each team has three permanent rivalry games played annually, with the other 10 opponents rotating on an every-other-year basis.

The plans for a shift back to a single-division format gained steam during the league's spring meetings in May, with the ACC hoping to improve its TV inventory of marquee games and set up a league championship game that would include its two best teams annually. Interestingly, the new format would not have altered the teams playing in the ACC title game in seven of the past eight years.

Following North Carolina’s 21-17 loss to Georgia Tech North Carolina Head Coach Mack Brown had this to say!

I thought we were mature enough to play in what would be called trap game. I thought we were beyond that after Virginia but we obviously weren’t. I thought we did a poor job of preparing them and didn’t play well enough to win.
