FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
I want UNC-Wake and Miami’s games against BC, Pitt, and Cuse to be added to the ACC protected football game list so that the NC schools can take turns playing each other on Thanksgiving weekend and BC and Pitt alternating having road games at Cuse (dome) or Miami (warm weather) as their season finales.
Meanwhile, four other games involving ACC teams would rotate on and off the Thanksgiving weekend schedule. In odd years we’d see California at SMU and Notre Dame at Stanford, and in even years UCLA at California and Stanford at SMU. These games would be played earlier in the season at the opposite locations.
This would leave UVA-VT and the four ACC-SEC games as the only games involving ACC teams played every season on Thanksgiving weekend.
Main reason I want Notre Dame-USC rivalry to end & last thing I want to see as a Northwestern Wildcats,Illinois Fighting Illini & Michigan Wolverines Fan is USC playing in cold Weather & same thing for UCLA & I really like to see Notre Dame-USC end this year.
Cold Weather & Football DO Not go together.
Here is My educated guess for ACC Thanksgiving weekend schedule November 28th-29th 2025.
Notre Dame at Miami
Pittsburgh at Syracuse
SMU at Boston College
Duke at North Carolina
California at Stanford
North Carolina State at Wake Forest
Virginia Tech at Virginia
Georgia at Georgia Tech
Florida State at Florida
Kentucky at Louisville
Clemson at South Carolina
