Atlantic Coast Conference teams that play BYU now will be able to count that game toward the ACC's requirement of playing a nonleague Power 5 team, sources told ESPN.
This is a change in philosophy for the ACC. At last year's spring meetings, the ACC announced games against BYU would not count as a Power 5 opponent. Starting in 2017, ACC teams are required to play at least one nonleague Power 5 team.
The reason for the change was because three of the four remaining Power 5 leagues (Big 12, Pac-12 and Big Ten) play nine conference games or will be going to nine conference games, meaning fewer nonconference opportunities, a source said. Also, the ACC believes games against BYU -- which has gone to 10 consecutive bowl games under coach Bronco Mendenhall -- would help the league's overall strength of schedule, a source said.
well that settles it...

Navy is joining the American this year.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Army join back into a conference in the near future as well.
