ACC drops football divisions, alters scheduling format. What it means for Clemson
The ACC will eliminate its football divisions and overhaul its scheduling format starting next season, leading to big changes for Clemson football in 2023.
Under the ACC’s new 3-5-5 model announced Tuesday, Clemson will play Florida State, Georgia Tech and NC State annually as its three “primary opponents.” The Tigers will face the conference’s other 10 teams twice each during a four-year cycle: once at home and once on the road.
Under the new format, the top two teams based on conference winning percentage will compete in the ACC Football championship game.
