Clemson gametime (speculation, not certainty)

Unfortunately, I really do think that the "ACC is trash" narrative has too much mainstream momentum.

In other words, I honestly don't think it matters how many ranked conference wins we end up having.

If we have more than 1 loss after the Conference Championship game, I think we're SOL no matter what.

I hope I'm wrong.

It would certainly help if some ACC teams would actually win some early season out of conference games, for crying out loud.

Louisville losing to Old Miss doesnt look too bad with Ole Miss winning @LSU.

Ga Tech losing to both Colorado and Tennessee.

NC State wetting the bed against Vandy. Sheesh!

UVA losing to WVa.

Thus far, the ACC has one decent OOC win... UNC beating TCU. And we'll see if that win was worth anything when TCU goes to UCF this Saturday.

So the Noon and 7:30 timeslots are between:

Miami at Clemson
Notre Dame at North Carolina


North Carolina does not play this week.
Miami will beat Central Michigan.
Thus, it seems like we would get the 7:30 games if Clemson wins at Cal on Friday night.


Root for Clemson on Friday.

Sorry, it’s physically impossible for me to ever root for Clemson. My body is rejecting even the thought of it.

Most of the games you cite are already scheduled for other times/networks

Gameday and Big Noon have broadcasted from the same game multiple times. Like Ohio St and Texas last year which was on Fox, they also were at Ohio St vs Oregon when Mario beat them and at least one Michigan vs Ohio St. Pretty sure they were at least one Penn St whiteout game too.

Gameday has also been at Notre Dame multiple times over the years when all Notre Dame home games have been on NBC.

Game times don’t matter either.

The “SEC game of week” started in 1998 and has been on at 3:30 either on CBS or now ABC. Gameday has been to pretty of those games.

The Red River Shootout is always at 12ET at the Cotton Bowl. Gameday been pretty of times whether it was on Fox or ESPN.

Anytime the Gameday game is on ABC/ESPN at Noon, Herbstreit leaves the set 15 -20 minutes early to get in the booth in time,

Would prefer a noon start where their team and fans would be sleepwalking. Miami fans with tickets for this game are rooting for a 7:30pm start, and that's their right, but the best case scenario from the standpoint of trying to win would be Cal 49 Clemson 0 and a nooner next Saturday.

Not this one. Driving in from NC mountains and would prefer day game vs driving mountain roads back at night.

And yet a very large percentage of our fanbase is scared to play all of these "spooky" ACC teams.

I live in Clemson land. There is a healthy hate for the Gamecocks and Clemson. The Clemson vs Gamecocks game each season is a big deal around here.
I always root for the Gamecocks. I cannot stand Clemson. And most of the dislike is because of Dabo Weenie.
 
This is the game where Belichick’s girlfriend goes medieval on the Little Irish Folk and UNC gets taken seriously for the first time.

Truth be told, I'm on the fringe of that subset of the fanbase.

I'm of the opinion that we could have dogfights on our hands against Va Tech, Pitt, FSU and maybe even UNC. I'm also growing increasingly concerned about playing Louisville in the ACC-CG.
