UCF to play 12-game football schedule under AAC plan

UCF has 11 games on its schedule today, with the school seeking a replacement for Florida A&M game after its conference suspended football due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the Knights could have more holes to plug if North Carolina and Georgia Tech choose different nonconference opponents for their sole slot allowed under ACC guidelines.

The Power 5 conferences recently announced alterations to their schedules, with the Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC opting for conference-only schedules, while the ACC and Big 12 chose to go with one nonconference matchup.

The leagues stated the revised schedules allow some flexibility to delay or reschedule games in the event of spikes in the COVID-19 cases.
