ACC to Continue Playing Eight Conference Games

The Atlantic Coast Conference athletic directors voted to remain with eight conference football games. The schools are also required to play at least one non-conference game against either Notre Dame or another Power Five opponent. This status quo option came at the 11th hour after some concessions from ESPN. This is a win for the Wake Forest football program.

The two other options that were considered were a nine-game conference schedule with one additional non-conference game against a Power Five opponent, as well as an eight-game conference schedule, with teams being required to face at least two additional Power Five opponents.
