ACC unveils full 17-team 2024 football schedule ACC unveils full 17-team 2024 football schedule The ACC announced its full 2024 schedule Wednesday, featuring new members Cal, Stanford and SMU as part of the expanded 17-team football league. The league previously unveiled its seven-year scheduling model through 2030, with annual conference opponents for each team. Although teams knew which other teams they would be playing this coming season, on Wednesday they found out their exact dates. Cal and Stanford will open ACC play on the road -- the Cardinal at Syracuse on Friday, Sept. 20, and the Bears the next day at Florida State. SMU opens ACC play the next week, with a home game against the defending ACC champion Seminoles.
FSU's schedule is a joke, and they basically get 2 byes before our game. Meanwhile we're coming off probably the toughest 4-game stretch in the country.
In a way it sucks we scheduled an absolute meat grinder of a schedule, but there's literally one trash team we play that wouldn't excite anyone. I seriously don't understand why kids are drawn to acc teams, how tf do you get excited to play 8 or 9 peewee creampuffs a year? And yes that fsu schedule is beyond embarrassing, that's probably almost as bad as their schedule last year but they get THREE damn bye weeks plus a super creamy cup cake before UF while don't we have Ole Miss?
This! And to top that off we go to Miami in '25, and knowing the SEC we'll have to go to OU like we're having to go to Texas this year.
Bring back the Harris Poll, and the Computer rankings (not just the Sagarin poll, that one is slightly skewed, IMHO) polls... so that strength of schedule matters again. FSU was rightfully left out of the playoffs, but we need to see it in more polls.
If you ever had any doubt that the Holes are an incredibly stupid bunch, consider that they want to leave the ACC and that schedule.
This. I know people like to blame the ACC for FSU not getting into the playoff last year, but 1) FSU was ranked above every playoff team except Michigan before Travis got hurt, so the ACC wasn't hurting them then, and 2) playing in the ACC is the only reason they finished undefeated, in any other conference they're playing a team much better than Louisville in the conf title game. I do wonder what's going to happen to a number of fan bases in the super conferences that were used to being in the conference title race most years, but now more often than not will be a middle-of-the-pack conference team due to the increased competition. That would almost certainly happen to FSU if they moved up to the SEC or B1G.
