ACC portion of the schedule comes out on Monday.

Basically would leave the 12 game and a late November open date would pretty much confirm the Stanford game.

by PMan @, The Banks of the Spokane River, Thursday, January 23, 2025, 15:43 (15 days ago) @ IrishGuard

09/06 - BYE
09/13 - Texas A&M
09/20 - Purdue
09/27 - at Arkansas
10/04 - Boise State

None of the teams left to be scheduled have 9/6 available.

by Chris @, Raleigh, NC, Friday, January 24, 2025, 10:48 (14 days ago) @ PMan

Boston College, Pitt, Syracuse, NC State and potentially Stanford already have games that weekend.

I'd love to see a later bye week

by ndbk32 @, Los Angeles, Thursday, January 23, 2025, 19:22 (15 days ago) @ PMan

With the now real possibility of additional games in December/January, I'd love to see that 2nd bye week pushed back a week or so on future schedules.

Yeah.

by KGB, Belly o. the Beast, Friday, January 24, 2025, 06:12 (14 days ago) @ ndbk32

I have a much bigger issue with taking a week 2 bye than opening at Miami (honestly, is it 1986? who gives a fuck) or playing our second game a day light. It would probably be a body-bag game anyway.

I hate the Wk2 bye as well

by Chris @, Raleigh, NC, Friday, January 24, 2025, 07:29 (14 days ago) @ KGB

But is there a body bag game out there?

BC, Pitt & NC State aren't Georgia but they aren't NIU either.

Oh wait...

Absolutely. Wk 2 is ridiculous

We haven't, yet

by Romulox, Thursday, January 23, 2025, 15:41 (15 days ago) @ IrishGuard

The next week is still unscheduled.

What are we doing in Week 2?

by CK08, Thursday, January 23, 2025, 13:38 (15 days ago) @ Aaron (Shakespeare)

We've got Miami, then a short week, then A&M. Is that really going to be Pitt, BC, NC State, or Syracuse? Or a trip to LA to play Stanford?

Probably needs to be one of our two Idle weeks

by Aaron (Shakespeare), Thursday, January 23, 2025, 15:43 (15 days ago) @ CK08

Otherwise we're going to be at a 1.5-day rest disadvantage versus a decent team that played Saturday afternoon rather than Sunday night.

The other Idle week would ideally be either right before or right after USC.

I assume the rumored Stanford game at the Rose Bowl would be 11/29, since we always try to close the year in California.

I don't have a big problem with a bye there

Ideally, the bye would be later in the season, but placing a bye between the two toughest opponents on the schedule is never a bad thing. Using a bye there is certainly better than inserting a trap game on short rest after travelling a thousand miles to play in Miami humidity.

Right now the schedule is

I'd think they would fill the October and November games with the ACC games. There are six open Oct/Nov dates for five games, if you include Stanford.

08/31 - at Miami (FL)
09/06
09/13 - Texas A&M
09/20 - Purdue
09/27 - at Arkansas
10/04 - Boise State
10/11
10/18 - USC
10/25
11/01
11/08 - Navy
11/15
11/22
11/29

TBA - NC State
TBA - Syracuse
TBA - at Pitt
TBA - at Boston College
