ACC football could have even brighter future after pandemic

While many have said it wouldn’t happen, it now appears we’re tentatively on track for college football in the fall. The ACC announced they will be using a 10-plus-1 model with 10 conference games plus the opportunity to schedule one non-conference game so long as it takes place in the home state of the ACC institution. After rumors of a pod system in which Clemson would play four ACC teams twice in the same season, this comes as welcome news.

The SEC threw some water on the celebration by canceling all non-conference games and thus backing out of their annual rivalry games with ACC opponents.
