Caveat: if they were smart. LOL...when has that happened?

BTW, no bitching about the schedule until 3:02pm...ok?

On Nov 12th they would have to compete with LSU @ Arkansas, Auburn @ Georgia, Michigan @ Iowa, Baylor @ Oklahoma, and Stanford @ Oregon.

On Oct 29th the key games include Florida/Georgia (pretty much assured 3:30 PM CBS), Michigan @ Michigan State, and Arizona State @ Oregon.


Two weeks earlier also allows the loser more room to move up in the rankings between the game and the end of the season.


But this is the ACC so of they made the smart decision it would mark the first time in history they made one regarding football.

I like it! Let's see if they figured this out too...

You hope the ESPN programmers have Oct 29th circled...good call Cat

Of course that's assuming FSU or Clemson will win the Division..?!?
FLossY Out...

North Carolina scheduled already released. Probably picked all their desired days first and now the rest of the schedule is being formed.

UNC

Sept. 3 - Georgia - Atlanta, Ga. (Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game)
Sept. 10 - Illinois - Champaign, Ill.
Sept. 17 - James Madison - Chapel Hill
Sept. 24 - Pittsburgh - Chapel Hill
Oct. 1 - Florida State - Tallahassee, Fla.
Oct. 8 - Virginia Tech - Chapel Hill
Oct. 15 - Miami - Coral Gables, Fla.
Oct. 22 - Virginia - Charlottesville, Va.
Nov. 5 - Georgia Tech - Chapel Hill
Nov. 10 - Duke - Durham, N.C.
Nov. 19 - Citadel - Chapel Hill
Nov. 25 - NC State - Chapel Hill

The whole month of November...total miles traveled--->16

I'm waiting for FSU to get NC State in a night game on a Thursday since it's away. Gotta make that game as tough as possible. And the BC clunker at home will probably on a Friday.

And probably Miami/Clemson/UNC back to back to back with no byes.

Hope I'm wrong. But I expect the ACC to mess to cluster bleep FSU yet again.

This is what we have been led to believe for State, but I'll believe it when it's official.

9/3 W&M
9/10 at ECU
9/17 ODU
9/24 BYE
10/1 Wake Forest
10/8 Notre Dame
10/15 at Louisville
10/22 at Clemson
10/29 BC
11/5 Miami
11/12 Florida State
11/19 at Syracuse
11/25 at UNC

The bye is early, but the weeks of the NC State Fair we are on the road.

True, but... there's a good chance it won't matter by then.

They must have called you.

Good:

Scheduling of Clemson in that date. Separate from Florida and Miami and Louisville.

UNC/Miami back to back isn't as bad because there isn't a back to back to back

Bye week later in the year.



Bad:

Boston College on a Friday (LOL)

Having BC/Wake/Cuse on the schedule every year and barely seeing Va Tech/G Tech/UNC.

Better than expected. I thought for sure we'd get NC State on a Thursday away. At least them or Louisville.

12th Annual Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game (Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C.)

Subject to change, all times Eastern

Friday night games do need to go away. That day should be reserved for high school football. It makes the ACC look second rate to have these games routinely. FSU definitely will not be happy having a home game go against the great HS football in that state.

Leave it to the ACC to finally get something right but then totally screw something else up.

@ FSU on Oct 29th was a no-brainer, but @ BC on a Friday night? Bush league.

Looks like both schools got hosed with BC on a Friday. It's bad either way. Neither state wants to have a home game on a Friday night nor an away game on a weekday vs. one of the trio of crapfest teams we're stuck with in this division.

ESPN Game Day on 9/17 at PJCS?!

If both are undefeated, I bet yes

interesting that most of the byes all fall in 1 week(6 in wk 7)

The fact that they are making y'all host a Friday night game just goes to show that all the "experts" on here that said only the two Yankee teams would host were FOS, just like they have been on just about everything else.

Friday night college football is bush league. Friday night is for high school football and fans shouldn't be forced to make a choice between the two.
