• Format change: The ACC moved to a 16-team single-elimination bracket for 2025, with the top four seeds earning double byes into the quarterfinals and the next four seeds earning single byes. This was a departure from the previous pool-play format and aligns with the approach announced for the SEC bracket that year. This change was reported as the format for the 2025 event.
