The ACC revealed its new seven-year football scheduling model as a 17-team league with new members Cal, Stanford and SMU on Monday, featuring 16 protected matchups that will go into effect starting with the 2024 season.
The league will continue to play eight conference games without divisions. All 17 teams will play each other at least twice over the next seven seasons — once at home and once on the road.
The 14 current ACC teams will play a total of three times each in California through 2030, and none will travel to California in back-to-back seasons.
In a change from the current 3-3-5 scheduling model, which the ACC adopted for this season, not every school has the same number of protected rivalry games.
