The ACC athletic directors have voted to make seven wins the new standard for teams in the league to become bowl eligible, according to a report by ESPN’s Brett McMurphy.

Murphy tweeted that ACC commissioner John Swofford said that the conference’s athletic directors decided that 7-5 will be the new standard to make the postseason, but that 6-6 teams would still be able to fill bowl vacancies if necessary. No 5-7 teams will be allowed in the postseason.

Swofford said a vote would have to pass nationally before changes were made.
