“As we look ahead to the 2022 ACC football season, there is tremendous excitement within the conference and our 14 football programs,” said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. “As usual, the schedule features incredibly competitive league contests as well as arguably the toughest collection of non-conference opponents. We look forward to watching our extraordinary student-athletes compete for championships and appreciate the work of our television partners in making every game accessible to our fans.”
Several ACC controlled non-conference games were moved to weeknights following the release of the schedule. Florida at Florida State was moved to Black Friday, while West Virginia at Pitt was moved up to Thursday, Sept. 1.

I’ve proposed a reshuffling of the football divisions:
James Division (named after Bob James who was ACC commissioner from 1971-87):
Clemson
Duke
Georgia Tech
North Carolina
North Carolina State
Virginia
Wake Forest
Tranghese Division (named after former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese, who led that league 1990-2009, only FSU wasn’t a member during this time):
Boston College
Florida State
Louisville
Miami
Pittsburgh
Syracuse
Virginia Tech
It would sort the 14 schools by how long they have been in the ACC. For the most part, regional rivals are together except the Virginia schools. But here are the protected crossovers:
Clemson-Miami
Duke-Syracuse
Georgia Tech-Florida State
North Carolina-Louisville
North Carolina State-Boston College
Virginia-Virginia Tech
Wake Forest-Pittsburgh
These crossovers would include the Orange Crush Bowl (Clemson VS. Miami), the Commonwealth Cup, and two matchups of schools normally known for their basketball prowess.
The Thanksgiving weekend schedule under this divisional alignment would include Virginia-Virginia Tech every year. The four NC schools would rotate among themselves on Thanksgiving weekend. Boston College and Pittsburgh would rotate ending the season in sunny Miami or the air-conditioned Carrier Dome at Syracuse. The four remaining schools would play their in-state SEC opponents as they usually do.
