Duke, UNC, and N.C. State avoid Clemson.

We also no longer play UNC, VT, or UVA.

Duke, UNC, and N.C. State avoid Clemson.

Yeah that’s BS

 

[Gt2019]

Miami 2 years in a row?

 

[Sean311]

This is awesome news and an insane schedule lol. Go ahead and throw UGA in there. We have one of the hardest schedules in the country now.

 

[JacketOff]

Tuff schedule for the Jackets. At least we skip UNC, but slide FSU in their place and add Louisville.
Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami, FSU, Louisville. Basically every team in the conference with any football clout.

We already had the 3rd hardest schedule in the country according to ESPN before this. The only negative IMO is we lose the easy tune up game, but it doesn’t look like anyone will have those this year. Otherwise, it’s not really any harder than it already was going to be. It’s brutal either way.

I don't feel right not playing VT

 

[boger2337]

Miami away again?! BS. They should of made that a home and Louisville away.

 

[mtodd30]

We did bring in Syracuse and N.C. State though. Still like this schedule, we have a pretty good shot at 5-5, or maybe better if we improve throughout the season!

Yeah it’ll be interesting to see if we are expected to go to Miami for a third straight year, get two in a row at home as well, or just have them at home on odd years now.

In:
BC, Lville, FSU, NCST

Out:
UNC, UVA, VT, UCF, Gardner Webb.

Overall, we lose a Win in GW, and probably 1 win in the group of UNC, UVA, VT, and UCF.

Can we make-up 2 wins within BC, Lville, FSU and NCST? I think we have a chance at it. Overall not too bad for us.

 

[DonDonGT]

All of this is gonna be a moot point

 

[boger2337]

Wins would come from...
Duke
Pitt
Louisville
BC
NC State
Cuse

If they are going to happen. Doubt we beat miami again in miami.
Clemson and ND are probably loses.
FSU is a who knows.

I see maybe 5 wins in that schedule ....... at this point I'd love to see them play with no fans.

Doubt we play it though. Let's see what happens with MLB. The good news there is only the Marlins have screwed up (but in a big way). https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...ovid-19-coronavirus-mlb-postponed/5530872002/

The bad news is that the lesser controls on college students and contact with football is so much more that there is little reasonable expectation for football to be able to control the virus if it is still in the community. Unless of course we say screw it and kill Grandma.

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

Reports coming in that the SEC is close to an agreement on a 10 game conference only season which would not allow SEC teams to play their ACC rivals. If that happens, I wonder who our 11th game would be or would we even have one?

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

FSU sucks!

Go Jackets!

 

[Coloradojacket]

I am going to guess our OOC game is Georgia. No way we don't play that one. Other than Clemson, looks like UNC has the easiest path to be the number 2 team.
