WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Atlantic Coast Conference Tuesday released an equitable 12-year schedule for the rotating crossover conference opponents for its schools in football which begins this fall.
With the addition of Pitt and Syracuse to the ACC this fall, there will now be seven teams in both the Atlantic and Coastal divisions. Each season, Wake Forest will play the other six teams in the Atlantic division and Duke as its primary crossover opponent with the Coastal division. The final ACC opponent will be a rotating crossover opponent from the Coastal division.
As was announced earlier this spring, the Deacons rotating crossover opponent for 2013 will be Miami. That game is scheduled for Oct. 26, in Miami. Wake's rotating crossover opponents through the 2024 season are listed below.
2013...........at Miami
2014...........Virginia Tech
2015...........at North Carolina
2016...........Virginia
2017...........at Georgia Tech
2018...........Pittsburgh
2019...........at Virginia Tech
2020...........Miami
2021...........at Virginia
2022...........North Carolina
2023...........at Pittsburgh
2024...........Georgia Tech
The criteria used to develop the schedule included the following:
1. Each ACC school will play eight conference games annually, four at home and four on the road.
2. Each ACC school will play three home divisional games and three on the road.
3. Each ACC school will play one home cross divisional game and one road cross divisional game. When schools will play their permanent crossover opponent at home, they will play their rotating crossover opponent on the road and vice versa.
4. Within each division, all teams will either play all of their primary crossover games at home or away in a given year with all of the rotating crossover opponents all played at home or away.
5. Each ACC school will play all of their rotating crossover opponents twice during the 12-year rotation, once at home and once on the road, but not consecutively.
