SUAD John Wildhack mentioned in one of his interviews today they might reduce the number of annual rival games for football from 3 to 2. It would be nice to get rid of FSU
Yea they have 3 months to figure it out

Nice thing about 2 is no one gets stuck with the new teams. Which means three SF trips over 7 years for SU.
But it would be a shame for some rivals to only play 3x in 7 years.

2 works well with a 9 game schedule. Not great with an 8 game schedule.
You end up with 14 teams you need to play and 6 games a year to play them. It isn’t clean.
2-7-7 completes the loop so you play everyone at least once every two years. Really good for building and retaining rivalries.
I think 2-7-7 or 4-4-4-4 are the best possibilities.
Agree with Otto. 8-8 (no annual rival) is a non-starter. Too many long standing rivalry games lost and it makes for way more travel for everyone with the 3 newbies not paired together.
or a combination or 2 perm and 4 perm, I think can work as the newbs having only 2 perm rivals makes sense, some of the current 3rd rivals are forced and should be removed

What games are sacred? There is no ACC version of the Iron Bowl.
NC and NC State? Not really UNC cares more about Duke even if it isn't basketball.
Miami FSU had no interest in playing prior to Miami joining the ACC.
UVA and VT I don't think used to play either annually.
Getting out of Pitt every year might make me on board with this. Of course it won't happen though.
Correction: Cal and Stanford have played 125 times.

You can't be serious? Were you not alive in the 80s and 90s?

I was using Sports Reference as my source. Looks like they didn't count anything before 1918. I see on your link some of those were consider rugby games? Either way the game isn't going away.
Is this the first sighting of the 3?

I really hope that JW uses the schedule change next year to split BC and Pitt. Hate that we have both at home one year and both on the road the next. We didn’t get Pitt in the Dome this year get them here next year.
Yep. A proud Berkeley grad. I get back to NY several times a year to visit my oldest kid. I’m looking forward to combining a family visit with a some football in the future.
Get rid of playing Florida St.

That’s ok, but only covers 15 teams. What do the other two do?

I understand...but when did we do anything logical in the ACC?
9 game conference schedule and 2-7-7 makes too much sense.
With the Notre Dame 5 game series and quite a few teams having P5 annual OOC games a 9 game conference schedule will be hard to get passed. Plus will ESPN pay for it?

Cal looks like a very nice venue for a game. My plan is to parlay our first game there with a week-long trip to Cali with the wife/kids where we do the drive down Route 1/Pacific Coast Highway.

While I prefer the 4 + 4 model to keep tradition, 2 + 6 gets you through the conference faster. Although that means more often going to Cali. But it also means no one gets stuck with a Cali team as a perm.
With 2 perms you play everyone in 2.3 years or 9x in 21 years. With 4 you play everyone in 3 years or 7x in 21 years. Not a huge difference.
FSU wanted 3 trips to the Northeast every 4 years. Which is how we got stuck with them. I doubt they want 3 trips every 7 years now. Then again FSU and don’t give them what they want.

Agree and I think that makes the most sense in the longer term, But when do we do anything that makes sense in the ACC!
In the short term it might be difficult, and expensive to buy out of scheduled games in the next few years. Looking at the current ACC teams this is the number of seasons that they have already scheduled and announced four OOC games between 2024 and 2036:
Boston College - 2 - 2025, 2028
Clemson - 2 - 2024, 2025 and 2026
Duke - 0
FSU - 1 - 2024
Georgia Tech - 2 - 2024, 2025
Louisville - 5 - 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2030
Miami - 2 - 2024, 2026
NC State - 3 - 2025, 2026, 2028
UNC - 4 - 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027
Pitt - 1 - 2024
Syracuse - 4 - 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027
Virginia - 1 - 2024
VaTech - 6 - 2024, 2025, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030
Wake Forest - 1 - 2024
Two of the P4 already p;ay a nine game conference schedule with the ACC and SEC still at eight I believe. If SEC were to go to nine I can see the ACC doing the same with some of the rivalry games skipping years or being discontinued altogether.
Maybe we play an eight game schedule through 2027 then go to 9? That would suspend natural rivals and ensure every one plays every team once home and away? Then go to the 2+7+7?
Thank you for this… back in the day Miami/FSU was THE game of the year. Not to age myself but I’ll never forget taking my SATs and trying to finish as early as I could so I didn’t miss Miami/FSU.
