I'm surprised we don't end the season on the road in the Northeast like usual, seems like it's always a pitt, Syracuse or bc on the road in the cold to close out

Funny how at Pitt is always the day after Thanksgiving but when they come to Miami it’s mid season. Almost as if the conference intentionally gives us cold weather games.

Literally just got done saying that right before schedule was announced.

Can say same for Notre Dame

The parade of weekday games are to get our TV watch numbers down so we don't walk away with another 40+ mil from the pot next year. So transparent. Conference is a disgrace. Have to win it this time.

Let's be honest .... Saturday games against Stanford and Wake wouldn't exactly be ratings juggernauts

@UNC seems like the biggest trap game

At wake will be tough, would rather have VT on a Saturday but. I like the schedule set up compared to last year.

we're the attraction ... they know if miami is playing a mid week the ratings will be crazy ... another poster said it best, the day of the week sucks, but the schedule overall is ripe af

I meant the 3 Thursday games and the Friday game. Luckily 3 of the 4 are done in weeks 1-3 and nothing again until November.

The teams are what they are. If Clemson, VT, FSU, and UNC could hold up their end of the bargain it wouldn’t be that bad. But 4 well resourced programs that are mediocre to bad does us no favors.

10-2 doesn’t get us in the CFP in 2026 unless it includes winning in Charlotte.

We need to be 11-1, and the ACC needs to re-do its tie breaker scenario so that the highest ranked team gets in.

As long as we’re 11-1 or 10-2 (with only 1 ACC loss)

We should be able to manage a couple mid week games vs Stanford and wake forest
