Looks like the tweet was deleted. Strange.

Last year, the ACC schedule was announced on Monday January 31st and it was the subject of a 2 hour show on the ACCN. I expect the same thing will happen this season.

If history means anything, we will play Pitt and BC at home late in the season. Probably will end the schedule against BC.

And we will play FSU early. Meaning before November (would love to play them in Tallahassee in mid or late November).

I expect we will play Clemson at home relatively early. Early October probably. Would not be surprised if they move the Syracuse-Clemson game to September 2nd and move the Colgate game to another month.

Chris, are you ready to reveal your complete ACC schedule? Your models have been consistently very good in past years...

You know the show's going to be at 7 PM on the ACCN.

While we're all at the Dome watching SU vs Virginia.

Ding, dong, divisions are dead!

So happy.

 

[Finwad32]

As objectively as possible, I’m 100% certain I see 12 wins there… LGO!

I will be in 2024. Are we the only program to play each of the Top 3 ACC schools in 2023, two on the road?

Clemson, FSU and ...?

Clemson, FSU and ...?

UNC according to ESPN. In fact if you throw in Pitt (just missing the cut) we get the top four.

No way we should win less then 7 games no matter the schedule order. Only sure loss I see is FSU, with Clemson and NC being likely losses.

I think i'd rather play any good teams as early as possible. Seems like any games at the end of the year we are more likely to lose because of injuries and depth issues. That seems to be the trend anyway.

Pitt, now with Jurkovec at QB, is probably an L considering the last decade.

Yup. I think every early top 25 I have seen has FSU first and Clemson second in the ACC. UNC was usually third.

It appears we got FSU as our third annual rival just as they passed Clemson as the best program in the conference.

We're always going to be playing 2-3 of the conferences top teams. Just the nature of the beast. In 2024 we'll have FSU and some combo of the other teams. I'm sure 1-2 of those will be top 25 as well.

 

[UpstateSM]

Give us Clemson week 5 so we have a real shot at hosting Gameday. As we deserve.

I'd rather Clemson and FSU at the end of November. Those games punish us physically. Those 2 games are also likely Ls. I'll take the thrill of starting hot like we did this year and hoping we can catch a few breaks along the way.

 

[Chris02M]

So happy.

When I look at tomcat's post and don't see Louisville, I can't help but to smile.

Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, glorious. Not necessarily because of whether I think we'll win or lose, but because I love seeing that variety.

Looks accurate to me. Nice work Chris.

Hate going to NC that late each year. It makes the golf less enjoyable. Temps usually around 45 or so. Some flights from Syracuse end around the end of October.

Clemson is surely going to play at least one conference game early. It would be an unfair and mean spirited move to have Syracuse open with a conference game at home two years in a row. There is no way that should ever happen. It better not.

Yes, but it was also our best game of the year. Might as well play one when we know everyone is healthy.

 

[Chris02M]

thanks guys. Yea I don't see us opening vs clemson or having to move the colgate game as there are enough teams to play conference games as is. Deciding on bye weeks is the hardest thing as espn will schedule bye weeks to play thursday or friday night games the week later

 

[Chris02M]

we are undersized, will never be fully healthy

 

[Chip]

We're not as undersized as we used to be in this century. But we're also not deep. There's a reason why we do so much better earlier in the year. Not banged up. So I don't mind a front loaded game.
