2026 ACC opponents

[JeremyCuse]

I think we're going to see Toledo off the docket. I understand UConn is harder to drop.

Heard the same, highly likely Toledo is the game dropped.

 

[upperdeck]

So you buy your way out of the uconn game if you have too.

 

[Blanko97]

This is going to be fun figuring out tiebreakers when teams are playing a different number of conference games.

True. I would say just make it the top ranked teams according to CFP but then someone will bitch about being a spot or two behind the second place team

 

[JeremyCuse]

It's interesting that the announcement doesn't reference the other games at home besides ND. I was told Toledo is most likely casualty but perhaps still in flux.

I believe your source is spot on. While the decision isn't fully completed I've heard its highly likely Toledo goes. If the 9th acc game had been a home game I believe NH would have been dropped.

Not that easy unfortunately. Would likely cost considerably more then dropping Toledo and Uconn already modified the schedule once for SU.

UCONN will look different next year. They lose their QB and having a new coaching staff.

Clemson , Smu , Notre dame 3 real shots for a gameday.

And because it has been said, now it cannot happen. We have to learn this lesson every year: the mere mention of possible Gameday dates flushes it right down the toilet of the universe.

 

[dollarbill44]

Unfortunately no, highly likely were getting 6 home games again. Brutal.

Meh, just schedule 13 games and tell the NCAA to kick rocks.

My bad

 

[JRHEETER]

This means we are more than likely losing a home game.

Brutal after raising the prices on seasons ONCE AGAIN.

At this point it’s getting a bit ridiculous.

As a P4 team we should be at 7 home games more often than not. We schedule like a G5 team with 6 home games consistently.

Such a shame

Play the UCONN game in Hawaii

 

[Frozen]

Game dates are announced in late January or so, right? I’m thinking of attending a roadie in 2026.

 

[SUinNWE]

I will not be sad if I have to close road games (BC Yukon) next year

 

[Scooch]

It’s another weird thing about college football that P4 programs expect to have 2 more home games than road games. No other pro sport works that way (and college football is pro sports, let’s be real).

That's the kind of out- of- the- box thinking we need from the AD office!

 

[upperdeck]

we make X amount playing Uconn away

We Make Y amount playing Toledo at home

Uconn makes Z with us playing at Uconn.
Uconn makes A playing someone else at Home.

If our Y is not more than the Z-A then were already in trouble,

Reality we need to make up the dIfference in about 10K of attendance

 

[OrangeXtreme]

XYZ.

YYZ is the Toronto airport.

YKK is a zipper manufacturer.

Y2K was a hoax.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Hate that they kept Pitt and BC as both road games.

No ACC team should play 2 games in NC in the same season. Why is that so hard?

Everyone should have 5 P4 home and away. FCS will be home. That leaves the G5.

The ACC was supposed to not play road G5s. Would be nice if we followed that and had 7 home games yearly.

The home schedule is brutal. Road is very winnable but it is hard to go over .500 on the road. Don’t see any better than 7-5 next year.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

If we flipped Pitt and Louisville, and those two flipped their games too then problem solved.

SU
H: Pitt
A: Louisville

Pitt

Quick someone call the commish before it is too late.

I love we have two games in North Carolina next year. If you live in the Syracuse area you should as well, Breeze Airlines runs direct to Raleigh from Syracuse on (I think) Thursday and Sunday for maybe $150 round trip? It’s a really affordable trip compared to some.

Am I correct that one would fly into Raleigh to go to a game at Chapel Hill?
