So the ACC will play two non P4 games.

One will most certainly be an FCS team and one other.

Bad day for the “schedule moar P4 programs crew”.

Before everyone thinks the sky is falling, I would assume they will start this is 2027. So, I looked at our ACC opponents, and, low an behold, it looks like they already planned for this. Bottom line is that most of the games appear safe for UConn.

Duke: Schedule meets the requirement for 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 as they have 3 OOC games scheduled and have 1 P4 school already on the schedule.

Syracuse: Schedule meets the requirement for 2027 and 2028 as they only have 2 OOC games scheduled and 1 P4 already on the schedule.

BC: Schedule meets the requirement for 2029, 2030, 2031 as they have 2 or 3 OOC games during the years with a P4 already on the schedule each year.

Pitt: Schedule meets the requirement for 2027 and 2028 as they only have 2 OOC games scheduled and 1 P4 already on the schedule.

Wake: 2028 game and they have 4 OOC including 1 P4 so 1 will have to be dropped. Either ECU or UConn.

UNC: I would assume 2026 is safe, but 2027 could be an issue as they have 4 OOC games scheduled. UNC is playing 2 P4, UConn and North Alabama.
 
With revenue sharing based on rolling five year viewership, I assume ACC schools will talk to ESPN about matches that might garner the better time slots and network. ABC, ESPN being favored…than ESPN2 and down to ACCN and ESPN plus.

The sky isn’t falling. We just have to schedule more G6 games. That’s what this means.

With our future schedule it looks like those schools ACC programs were planning on UConn being a conference game

They can talk, but they'd be trying to wag the dog. ESPN will televise whichever games will draw the most viewership. It doesn't care what bcu or wake forest think

The ACC could always state that it considers UConn to be a power matchup, right? just like the Big Ten did several years ago

If they don’t want to blow up all of those schedules they will do this. Anything to not invite us to the club though

FSU scheduled H&H's with BAMA and Georgia..and has Notre Dame every other year from next year through 2036.... And Clemson signed a separate (non ACC) contract with the Irish to play every year.

Notre Dame has Clemson (9X), FSU (5X), and Miami (5X) from 2026-36. Playing brands builds your brand.

I just looked at that Duke schedule - there is no chance they are playing 2 of their 3 non-conference games on the road in 2028 (@ Temple, @ UConn) and 2029 (@ TCU, @ UConn). It feels unlikely the current iteration of UConn/Duke games plays out as is.

Same logic applies to Syracuse - I’d say theres approximately a 0% chance they’re going to come to UConn in 2027 given they are coming here next year and already have a 2027 road game @ Penn State scheduled. Look for that game to move to 2031 or later.

Wake is going to have to get creative… maybe we can move our game in Winston-Salem to next year to avoid getting pushed way out to the 2030s

All I can say about the UNC series is thank God we moved locations of the games around to get them in EH next year. Don’t be surprised if our game in Chapel Hill gets pushed to 2029

Is Pac-12 FB only still on the table?

my guess is "no", but it probably depends who comes first to the table. whoever folds first and makes the phone call, is at the disadvantage. hope its them needing us first. if we come back hat in hand, they will kill us with their terms... which probably means us doing things with our basketball teams we have NO interest in doing.

The ACC will have an unbalanced schedule with either 4 or 5 home ACC games every year. So, for a school like Duke, they will target 6 home games every year. In years they have 5 ACC home games, they will probably play 2 road OOC games as Duke is not going to be able to get any quality OOC games if they don't offer a H/H. For a school like FSU, they will target 7 home games every year, but with a 9 game ACC schedule, they might have to play 6 home games in a given year.
 
FSU has played 4 six home game schedules in the last 10 years...but they subbed a home game for a neutral site game in Dublin, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Atlanta.

Every other year, either Florida or Miami is away...and there are 2 ND at home and 3 away through 2036.

I look for the SEC to reverse course again and support the B1G's proposal of 4 guaranteed playoff teams every year. Check out this NY Times article discussing the difficulties of the future SEC 9-game schedules, plus required 10th game vs. a P4 team. If that happens, the B1G will have their cake and eat it too - getting the SEC to play 9 conference games and getting the guaranteed playoff structure it has long advocated for.....

SEC reveals 2026-2029 football opponents: Here’s who each team plays next season

The SEC is moving to a nine-game schedule next season and revealed who teams will play for the next four season.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

"Still, every team can probably pick out at least one year and be concerned. Auburn, for instance, has a 2028 schedule that looks brutal: Road games at Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU and Arkansas.

That same year, LSU has a five-game road schedule of Alabama, Texas, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State.

In 2027, Ole Miss has a five-game road schedule of LSU, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi State.

There are plenty of other examples. And in addition to that the SEC is still requiring teams to play at least one non-conference game against Notre Dame or a team from the ACC, Big Ten or Big 12. Given all that, don’t be surprised if coaches and athletic directors lobby commissioner Greg Sankey to get even more protections in the CFP selection process."

That's why you gotta zazz it up with the red tongue version...now he's hungry husky. ^_^

I never realized how much Oregon's old logo looks like Daffy Donald Duck (edit, I meant Donald and mistakenly wrote Daffy...that'll teach me to post before having my caffeine shot in the morning, thanks for the catch @Hamms30 ).
