Just doing some quick schedule analysis.
UCF-UNC could be played October 27. North Carolina and Virginia both have October 6 off. Play that game then, and then have UCF-UNC play on October 27.
Clemson and NC State both have October 13 off. Play that game then, and then NC State plays West Virginia on October 20.
That’s free of charge, AAC, ACC, and BIG XII.
UCF and WVU need to get on the phone with each other and schedule something real quickly.
UNC should cancel a couple more games……losing by 22 to a team that lost to an FCS team…
ECU will have had two weather cancellations. They have an off day 10/27. So does Nebraska. Could be the difference in whether someone gets to 6 wins.
What are the people in Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC waiting for? This is a catastrophic weather event heading right for them. Cancel your game or move it ASAP. South Carolina has already cancelled their classes effective at 1 pm on Tue., 9/11. Any game Thu.-Sun in GA to VA needs to be cancelled or moved far inland by Wed., 9/12. Atlanta & Charlotte may even get heavy flooding based on the latest storm tracker.

Va Tech and West Virginia both have off 10/20. Pitt and the Steelers are both on byes that week as well. Game could be played at Heinz Field.
Another example of how scheduling is so chaotic and needs a clearinghouse. In this century, it’s ridiculous. In an ideal NFL like situation, games get reset by a central office .
Presbyterian and Stetson is now canceled.
