If you’re ready for some football then the ACC is ready for you. The conference released their 2024 schedule Wednesday reflecting the addition of three new teams. Each team will play eight ‘in-house’ games. If you include Week Zero, teams will have as many as four open dates but if you exclude the season opener the majority, with the exception of Florida State, Georgia Tech and SMU will have two. The aforementioned will have three. Over the new seven-year schedule all 17 teams will play eight conference games yearly and each other at least two times.
