The ACC made it official today that it will be scrapping the division format in football beginning with the 2023 season. In its place, each school will have three permanent opponents with every other team rotating through.
For NC State, this means annual games against UNC, Clemson, and Duke. The addition of Duke to the Wolfpack’s yearly schedule is the only new development here, as the Pack was already playing the other two annually.
So there’s no escaping Clemson, after all. Not that this is terribly surprising—the two teams have lots of history together and it’s understandable that the ACC would want to preserve the Textile Bowl.
