The ACC’s 8 vs 9 Conference Game Debate
The latest debate in college football is whether the conferences should have 8 conference games or 9 conference games. Moving forward, the ACC and SEC will have 8 game schedules, while the Big-XII, Pac-12, and B1G will have 9 games. The ACC and BIG have even talked about allowing non-conference games against conference opponents. There is much hand-wringing over the ACC-SEC staying at 8 games, but those conferences uniquely have four rivalry games between the two conferences that must be played every year. And the ACC has the 5-game Notre Dame scheduling issue to worth through. But there is an easy solution.
