ACC adopts new tiebreaker system valuing head-to-head, then 'body of work' after 5-way tie

It's a much-needed modification after last season, in which Duke — despite winning only seven regular-season games overall — reached the conference title game via a five-way tie for second place.
The Blue Devils, who wound up winning the ACC yet missing out on the College Football Playoff since they weren't one of the five highest-ranked conference champions, took a spot in the league championship that could have been occupied by Miami. The Hurricanes, of course, snuck into the 12-team CFP field with an at-large bid and made a run to the national title game.
The five-loss Blue Devils won a five-way tie for second place in the conference over four other teams with better overall records
I hope the SEC tie-breaker isn't as stupid as the ACC's was.

the sec will get 4 teams most of the time so the tiebreaker doesn't weigh as heavily
the acc only got one team and Duke wasn't a factor
