Say that three different teams in the same division all finish tied for first place in football, and each of the 3 teams going 1-1 against the other two teams.

For example, let's say that this season Miami loses @UNC, VT loses @Miami, and UNC loses @VT. Each of the teams goes 7-1 in conference games.

How would the tie-breaker work for the CCG?

Simple - we go in reverse alphabetical order

Tiebreaker Policy
The Dr Pepper Atlantic Coast Conference Championship will be decided by a game between the Atlantic and Coastal Division Champions. The team in each division with the highest percentage of wins during all regular-season Conference competition shall be declared the division champion.
If two or more teams are tied with the highest percentage of wins, they shall be declared division co-champions. Division standings will be calculated on a percentage basis, using only those Conference games which are a part of the regular rotating schedule. In the event of division co-champions, the following tie-breaker procedure will be used to determine that divisions’ representative to the championship game.
A. Two-Team Tie
Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.
Records of the tied teams within the division.
Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall record (divisional). Conference record and proceeding though the division. Multiple ties within the division broken from first to last.
Overall record versus all common non-divisional opponents.
Combined record versus all non-divisional teams.
Record versus common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish (divisional and non-divisional) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the end of regular season games shall be the divisional representative in the ACC Championship Game.
The representative shall be chosen by a draw.
B. Three (or More) Team Tie
(Once tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker format is used)
Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
Records of the tied teams within the division.
Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall (divisional or conference) record, and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken first to last.
Overall record for non-divisional teams.
Combined record versus all common non-divisional teams.
Record versus common non-divisional with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional record) and proceeding through the other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within the division.
The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the conclusion of regular season games shall be the divisional representative in the ACC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the ACC Championship Game.
The representative shall be chosen by a draw.

Or go with the Team who has been in the conference the longest

You would obviously choose the team that has won the most championship games.

This is funny. As if your two schools have commanding leads on the most championships (Clemson - 14, Florida State - 13) or championship game wins (Virginia Tech - 3, Florida State - 2)...

Maybe we could have it be who won the first ACC CG. Or the most recent ACC CG. Or perhaps the school that won the first ever ACC football title (Duke).

OK. Then we will go with which school has won a game at the home field of the other in the last 10 years.

First of all it was a joke.

Second of all, tie breakers only apply within division.
So...
VT: 3
GT: 1
Everyone else: 0

I'm surprised you didn't find a way to b*tch about Wake being at the end of the alphabet.

I'm sure Pitt would go for most national championships as a tie-break... VT, not so much

Guys all of this is nonsense and we know Swofford will just pick UNC and Wake just to piss of FSU because he has some terrible conspiracy against them

Wake I could see but UNC would have to be :

A. Good enough to be in the discussion
&
B. Not on probation for cheating

That hasn't happened since 1980, so let's keep this to realistic scenarios.

You're the one bitching, brah.

Did you highly intelligent self not think me saying Duke should be awarded the tie-breaker also wasn't a joke? GFY.

I think someone's a little sensitive to the fact that FSU has nearly as many titles as Clemson in roughly 1/3 the time.
