by If non-conference games get you off, then there are many intriguing matchups to salivate over from now until September. Some of the more notable ones are:
- 9/4 – LSU vs North Carolina (Chick-fil-A kickoff)
- 9/6 – Boise State vs Virginia Tech (ESPN 8:00)
- 9/11 – Florida State at Oklahoma
- 9/11 – Georgia Tech at Kansas
- 9/11 – Miami at Ohio State
- 9/16 – Cincinnati at NC State (ESPN 7:30)
- 9/18 – Clemson at Aurburn
- 9/18 – Alabama at Duke (Please Duke pull the upset for lulz.)
- 9/18 – BYU at Florida State
- 9/18 – Maryland at West Fuckin’ Virginia
- 9/18 – ECU at Virginia Tech
- 9/18 – Wake Forest at Stanford
- 9/23 – Miami at Pittsburgh (ESPN 7:30)
- 9/25 – North Carolina at Rutgers
- 10/2 – Notre Dame at Boston College
- 11/27 – Boston College at Syracuse
As far as the conference race goes the major players are Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Miami, Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina and Boston College. That’s more than 50% of the conference and with that said one of the five teams I didn’t mention will end up winning the damn thing. Parity, if you’re and ACC fan you’ve got to love it.
Some quick notes:
- Boston College  plays all five of their divisional games back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back from 10/9 – 11/6. That’s rough.
- Clemson has to play Miami, @North Carolina and Georgia Tech. They could very well end up being the first, second and third place Coastal teams.
- Georgia Tech gets North Carolina early on in the season, when they’ll suck, again, but has a three game stretch @Clemson, @Virginia Tech and Miami as fall begins.
- Miami – That’s a schedule the oozes swagga!
- Virginia Tech – The following statement is extremely homerish, optimistic, but entirely possible. If we beat Boise State we could be 8-0 and the #1 team in the country heading into our Thursday night game against Georgia Tech. Welcome to the Thunderdome. Oh and this year, we’ve got 11 days to prepare for the Perfect Option.
What do you guys think?

I thank god Duke has Maryland on the schedule, as a winless ACC campaign is more than I could bare. Maryland is the kid with mental retardation in your family that makes your severe learning disability seem far more passable

1st of all I notice your game with ECU is in the notable games but ours is not.
2nd I cannot wait to see you guys in Chapel Hill this year, I do hope you’re 9-0 coming into Kenan, it will make it that much sweeter.
3rd LSU in the opener. Fuck and Yes. Ticket plans already made, hotels are being rented within the month and I’m ready to rock and roll.
CGB & ITB in Chapel Hill needs to happen my friend.

That’s what you call blatant homerism.
