This. Now what's the angle. Why? Trying to destabilize the ACC? Or pit the the ACC and Big12 against each other? Or maybe he's just being a ?
Just business.
The Big Ten has two divisions and, for better or worse, the two 'champions' play each other in the title game.
What the ACC wants to do is game the process by stepping over a lesser division winner and choosing whoever they feel are the top two teams. They don't want to see a team like Duke '14 in their title game because it could cost them a playoff sport if there's an upset or, more likely, it damages the resume of the eventual ACC champion.
There's no reason for the Big Ten to give a competitor for the four playoff spots an advantage.
