ACC Unveiling new 17 Team Scheduling Model on Oct 30th

[cway313]

At least we don’t play them.

Maye is gone, next year would be graet to play them as they break in a new QB.

 

[RichtshawFerguson]

Just make it 16. We should leave this pos conference like it’s a steak fry.

 

[Nickkcin]

Welp, I'm glad I'm able to see Miami at BC this year. Joys of Atlantic Canada

 

[TallyCane]

Hope we have a bye week after that Cal game. Will most likely be a 10:30 est kick and team probably won’t get back to Miami till 8:am.

 

[Dixie Normous]

This new schedule is dumb and there isn’t anything remotely exciting about adding these 3 lower tier teams to an already crap conference.

 

[Gables Canes]

This conference blows. What a bunch of dead weight teams. Cal is terrible. Stanford and SMU aren’t much better.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Can we move this thread to the "Who Gives a ****" board?

 

[Liebenator]

Figured they would have fixed having our two rivals both @home/away each year as that was a big compliant regarding ticket sales.

 

[RightSaidFred]

Remarkably, the ACC didn’t ***** us. I’m not a fan of the league due to the officiating but the people making the schedules were pretty good to Miami I think.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

I think this 1 division for 17 teams is bad!!!

Each team has 3-4 common opponents between them. I can't wait for the tie breaker scenarios to hit them square in the face where the championship participants will be determined by CFP ranking when the head to head doesn't exist and common opponent results are indistinguishable.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

No UNC for the rest of the decade. UNC will get to gloat over their 5 straight wins until at least 2031 unless we see them in the title game. The next time Miami plays UNC, the punch line will be, "Miami hasn't beaten UNC in over a decade."

 

[Bpayne32]

That 2024 schedule sets up perfectly for a huge year

 

[Umbra]

What? Every team has 2 rivals that they play 7 times. Not sure what you mean

Which teams does GA tech play 7 times? I must be reading it wrong

 

[ScubaCane]

We play them in '26, '29 and '30

 

[Tony4Canes]

GT doesn't have permanent rival to play every year

 

[Empirical Cane]

Going to Cal for that one.

Has that been confirmed for football? East Coast ACC are traveling to West Coast to play?

I had heard other sports were considering a "meet in Dallas" model?

 

[NJshoreCane]

For you real lazy dudes:

The new schedule will continue with no divisions, feature 17 schools and will increase the number of annual conference matchups from 56 to 68. The top two teams based on conference winning percentage will compete in the ACC Football Championship Game on the first Saturday in December at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Opponents for the 2024-2030 seasons are as follows – all game dates and times are TBA:

2024

Home: Duke, Florida State*, Virginia Tech*, Wake Forest

Away: Cal, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Syracuse

2025

Home: Syracuse, Louisville, NC State, Stanford

Away: Florida State*, Pittsburgh, SMU Virginia Tech*

2026

Home: Boston College, Florida State*, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech*

Away: Clemson, North Carolina, Stanford, Wake Forest

2027

Home: Cal, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Virginia

Away: Duke, Florida State*, NC State, Virginia Tech*

2028

Home: Duke, Florida State*, Stanford, Virginia Tech*

Away: Boston College, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Virginia

2029

Home: Clemson, North Carolina, SMU, Wake Forest

Away: Cal, Florida State*, NC State, Virginia Tech*

2030

Home: Boston College, Florida State*, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech*

Away: Clemson, North Carolina, SMU, Virginia



17 schools, no divisions.
I need to get caught up on THAT tie breaker scenario for 2nd place.

Also, VT and FSU are home/away the same year. I don't know why as it limits different home game opponents every other year.

 

[423Hurricane]

Glad to see VT back on the schedule. The 3 new teams should be interesting-especially SMU if Lashlee is still there.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

And dumped the UL 'rivalry'. It will have lasted all of one year

But what will happen to the trophy?
