I agree, the easy schedule is really nice in Fran's first year. But I still wish one of those games was swapped out with a lower level P4 game.  Not having one P4 team on the out of conference schedule just looks a bit ridiculous and probably just results in nationwide bashing and lower rankings for us.

What compounds it is we don't play many of the best teams in the conference this year either. But in general top to bottom I think the ACC is going to be a bit stronger than last year so we don't really have any real easy conference games.  Just by looking at the transfer portal rankings for 2024 from 247 below you would think the conference should be improved. Although bringing in Cal, SMU and Stanford doesn't schreme upgrade Cal and SMU have good tranfer rankings. Transfer portal has been a pretty good thing for ACC programs.  They provide a lot of immediate improvement.  And this list excludes Clemson who doesn't use it and just relies on development and bringing in more high level freshman.
