Noon definitely has moved up the pecking order form the mid to late 2000's when as you noted it was mostly bad teams or good programs who were struggling. I think that's why SU vs Ga Tech was a Noon game earlier this year, good matchup that the ACC wanted at that Noon slot.

I think assuming Lville loses again this week to Miami that Lvill/Clemson game could be a nooner but the ACC time slots can vary week to week so it's unclear how many Noon slots they have that weekend. If it's only 2 I think were probably in decent shape if its 3 I think we maybe screwed.

UNC at FSU screams Noon but it could also get that odd CW afternoon slot time. Funny most years SU would get that CW slot a ton but since they came out with it SU's been decent so I think we've gotten it once the last 2 season and it was the last game of the year last year (if my memory is correct).

Stanford @ NC State and UNC at FSU are probably either Noon or the CW Slot

Pitt and SMU seem like a lock for 3:30 or night kick.

The wildcard is that Clemson matchup as you noted. Feels like it would be a noon slot but Clemson rolling in the top 10 could bump them to 3:30 and dump us back, ditto Miami and Duke.  One of those feels like it would make a good Nooner matchup.

Historically Tech winning Thursday and Duke losing Friday would help us avoid a noon game but now it might be the opposite with Noon taking on more of a primetime feel (for at least one of the games).  Once we know the actual ACC time slots I think we'll have a better feel for where SU might end up.
