Good hate Thursday games

GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that two conference football games will move to different dates. The Miami at Florida State and the Georgia Tech at Miami games will be rescheduled for Saturday, October 7, and Saturday, October 14, respectively.

Miami at Florida State was originally scheduled for Saturday, September 16. The Georgia Tech at Miami game is being moved from its originally scheduled date of Thursday, October 12 to abide by the ACC Football scheduling parameter that requires teams playing on Thursday night to have equal or full rest.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is feeling the effects of Hurricane Irma,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “As important as football is to all of us, these kinds of events provide perspective when you’re talking about life-threatening events and the aftermath ramifications.

“It quickly became clear that it was in the best interest of our players, coaches and fans to reschedule next week’s Miami at Florida State game. Typically, it’s not easy to reschedule games, but in this instance, there was a clear path to adjust quickly and effectively.

“I appreciate the leadership at our schools and with our television partners as this process was seamless, and we were able to adjust in as fair a way as possible.”​

If they are going to do that, then they should move next week's UCF game to Atlanta

Yea that but requires another party besides just the ACC to decide

True, but I would think the only other option would be to cancel it altogether, unless somehow Orlando doesn't incur much damage, which is doubtful

Monday's call-in show has been moved to the Edge Center on campus with no live audience

I'm ok with this since the FSU game got moved. When Miami loses to FSU they usually have a terrible game following it

That means that we now get 2 weeks prep time for that game to Miami's 1 week prep time. LOVE IT

Good now we actually have a true bye week. Miami had a bye before playing us so it really wasn't like we got a true bye.

Not sure that will happen without their QB

Doesn't matter, because it will still be a battle, and Miami could still be hurting with such a short down time.

Miami Results in games following a loss to FSU
2016: L 13-20 UNC
2015: W 30-20 VT but lost 56-0 to Clemson the next week
2014: L 13-30 UVA
2013: L 24-42 VT
2012: W 30-12 VT but lost to UVA 40-41 next week
2011: W 6-3 USF (note USF was not a bowl eligible team that year)

so it's actually not as bad as I thought although they had some stinkers. But I'll take the bye week advantage

What week is midterms for us?

To put things in perspective, there may not be much left of Florida when Irma gets through the state. Prayers for all involved.

10-2 might be a possibility with the juggling of the schedule.
