Though,

The Atlantic Coast Conference won’t have divisions in football much longer 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 NC State’s 30-21 win over Wake Forest Wake Forest 30-21 loss Wake Forest Head Coach Dave Clawson had this to say!

It’s a good football team, it’s a touch environment it’s really good old veteran defense. They started a freshman quarterback but the rest of the unit is good players. They’ve got a veteran 0-Line they’ve got veteran offensive skill. He played well, but they didn’t ask him to win the game.
