[QUOTE="GTFLETCH, post: 730060, member: 1668"] Three Power 5 conferences are actively trying to preserve their 14 non-conference games among the ACC, Big 12 and SEC after the Big Ten and Pac-12 opted last week to cancel all non-conference games as the COVID-19 pandemic grips the country. The three Power 5 conferences are discussing several scheduling options, which could also be tweaked over the next two weeks. It's possible one or all three could move to an eight-game conference schedule with one or two non-conference games; a nine-game conference schedule with one non-conference game against a Power 5 opponent; and a 10-game, conference-only schedule. Notre Dame is expected to be an honorary member of the ACC for the 2020 season should a fall football schedule be developed. If so, one of Notre Dame's non-conference would likely be at home against Arkansas. The Razorbacks are scheduled to travel to Notre Dame in Week 2. "As we stand here today what I believe with our conversations with commissioner Sankey, the SEC, the Big 12 and the ACC are on the same page as far as our collective desire to be patient before making any decisions," Arkansas athletics director [B]Hunter Yurachek[/B] said. "You look at some of the in-state rivalries that exist, especially between the SEC and the ACC, it makes sense that Clemson should play South Carolina, Georgia should play Georgia Tech and Florida should play Florida State. Just eliminating those games because you want to play a conference only schedule, at least at this point, does not make a great deal of sense. All the options are on the table,I just want to play football this year. And I think (so do) our football team, our football staff. If that’s eight SEC games and one non-conference game or 10 SEC games, we’ll play whatever we’re able to play this year." Yurachek further stated As those public-relations campaigns kick into high gear, so is the work behind the scenes to save non-conference games among Power 5 programs. The odd men out: FCS and Group of 5 programs.
