FILE - In this Jan. 11, 2016, file photo, an American flag is seen on the field during the national anthem before the NCAA college football playoff championship game between Clemson and Alabama, in Glendale, Ariz. The Atlantic Coast Conference has closed the gap on the Southeastern Conference with a four-year run that includes two national championships and two Heisman Trophy winners. Now the ACC and SEC look awfully similar, from their top tiers and divisional imbalances to their Southern-stronghold recruiting bases in overlapping geographic footprints. (AP Photo/Ross D.
