I checked the official ACC website and ESPN.com and could not find any info on an MVP for the first ACC Championship Game. Does the ACC even give an MVP award? If not then I guess we can delete that column in the table, otherwise I'd like to see it filled like the table on the SEC Championship Game page. Seancp 01:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Is there a reason why the coaches' poll rankings are being used when the AP poll is generally considered the more authoritative and is the more widely used poll? Binabik80 16:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Where is next year's ACCCG being held? I haven't been able to find that anywhere. 74.234.5.72 08:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I have used WRAL (Raleigh, NC, TV station) as a source for the announcement about the 2008-2011 games instead of http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/121207aaa.html so that an independent source was used. However, the ACC announcement does include game dates:
It also notes that one reason Tampa got the '08 game was that Charlotte was hosting a citywide convention that year. — C.Fred ( talk) 18:29, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of May 10, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

Hi, Following a rule change, Atlantic Coast Conference football championship games now fails featured topic criteria 1.d. and 3.c., as 2008 ACC Championship Game needs to be audited for quality and added to the topic. The topic has 6 months from the time of the rule change, or until 2009-01-03, to re-meet the criterion - rst20xx ( talk) 00:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
When any team (not just VT) has a rank in any poll it should be displayed to give the reader as much information as possible. Just leaving a team unranked gives absolutely no information as to the relative positions of the teams playing. It is not "rigging" to include a ranking whenever it is available. Rreagan007 ( talk) 15:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
We've got conflicting attendance reports for the '09 game. The State, a newspaper based in Columbia, is reporting it as "in front of 42,815 at Raymond James Stadium." [1] One of their "sound off" sidebar items mentions "Free-ticket giveaways to kids in both end zones, making it look good for TV," which suggests they're only counting paid attendance. By contrast, Sports Illustrated reported "Attendance: 57,227." [2] What other sources are reporting attendance, so we can come up with a most-valid number? — C.Fred ( talk) 17:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
I believe the article should be renames to ACC Football Championship Game to avoid ambiguousness with the other ACC Championships for Basketball, Baseball, etc. -- BuffaloChip97 ( talk) 15:39, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I've made a change to the SEC Championship Game and Big 12 Championship Game pages that I'd like to make here as well; using team colors only for the winning team in the results table (rather than using team colors for both teams). I've had difficulty reading these tables, as coloring both teams yields low readability; using colors just for the winning team is much clearer. Comments welcome, thanks. Dmoore5556 ( talk) 04:56, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
While searching theacc.com for anything about the change in sponsorship—and I can't find a positive announcement, only the conspicuous absence of Dr Pepper from mentions of the 2019 game—I found that the ACC typically styles the game as "2019 Atlantic Coast Conference Football Championship Game". Based on that change of usage, should we move the article to "ACC Football Championship Game" and change the article accordingly? Or should we just mention the official title in the lede and keep it as "ACC Championship Game" elsewhere? — C.Fred ( talk) 17:29, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Withdrawn, not closed, in favor of separate smaller RM bunches. Dicklyon ( talk) 15:43, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
– For all of these that I've checked, capitalization is not dominant in sources, so per guidelines shouldn't be capped in our articles or their titles. Dicklyon ( talk) 23:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
OK, it seems that editors would prefer a whole bunch of RMs to one large one. I'll withdraw this and start over. Dicklyon ( talk) 15:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
