ACC made their decision

[MichiganHerd]

Don't have all the details, but appears they're going with a 10 game conference schedule, plus 1 non-conference game against an in-state opponent. Notre Dame is also participating, and allowed to play in the conference championship game (if they make it).

If true, then this would eliminate WVU's game with FSU, as well as eliminate the prospects of playing Pitt, Va Tech, etc., unless they were to make an exception. Definitely will help out teams like East Carolina, Old Dominion, Charlotte, Georgia Southern, and others among the G5 to help them fill out a schedule, assuming their conferences allow them to do so.

Also eliminates sPitt coming to Huntington to play the Turd. Hamrick better be making nice with Lyons ASAP and come to Morgantown.

Told you this a month ago..

Some ACC schools were going to make things uncomfortable if they couldn't get their games with the SEC.

40 schools
SEC, Big 12, ACC

The 40th being BYU.

WVU can figure out who they may play. Look at the schools who don't have a game scheduled.
This includes a few ACC schools

My question is this?
And it’s TOTALLY hypocritical cause I don’t think by November college football will be going on.

If Meat Chicken loses to the Worthless Nuts again and nobody is there to see it (cause MLB, nba, and even golf don’t have fans), will the Khakis be fired?

I'm also not shocked by what the ACC is doing-trying to follow the PAC & B1G examples . I imagine the Big XII will do something similar given there’s already a 9 game conference schedule.

Big 12 is playing all their games as of now

SEC could as well

ACC had to make a compromise.

Big 12 playing all their games?
If what was posted is true about ACC then we are already down 2 Games...MD and FSU.

Per the ESPiN/MSESPN article. Your OOC game must be in your home state. Which means USC can play Clemson, FSU and Miami can play Florida, and Georgia can play Georgia Tech. That leaves Pitt losing their OOC with Marshall and possibly a game with WVU.

Your AD is looking for replacements.
Expect something to come out in the next 10 days.

One of the replacements could be either an ACC school who doesn't have an OOC game of against a SEC school.

Keep an eye out for what the ACC does once they release their schedule. If Notre Dame is placed in the opposite division of Clemson, as well as not playing Clemson in one of the divisional crossover games, then they're making a strong effort to have two undefeated teams playing for the ACC conference title game, with the hope of sending two teams to the CFB playoffs.

There is only going to be one division. Hopefully this will somehow back ND into a corner and force them to join the ACC full time.

Thanks for posting. Kind of the same thing though, if they don't have Notre Dame playing Clemson in the regular season. I doubt any of the other stiffs can beat Notre Dame.

If ACC is using plus one as in state then how

Probably not and this is why ND negotiated this deal. They know they can go the title game. But they will still be playing Clemson twice. They were already on ND schedule and at ND.
