conference champion Clemson<\/a> has an intriguing schedule in that two of its first four games are ACC contests. The Tigers are at home against LSU and Troy to open the season before going on the road for an ACC game at Georgia Tech. The following week they are back at home to play Syracuse. The scheduling accommodates Clemson\u2019s last two games of the season being non-conference against Furman and South Carolina.<\/p>\nIn its second year in the conference, Cal has figured out the travel logistics. Since it has no control over the conference home and away games, make the out-of-conference games as geographically viable as possible. The Bears have four non-conference games to start the season, but they are not going too far. They go up to Corvallis to play old Pac-12 foe Oregon State. That is followed by home games against Texas Southern and Minnesota. And then they have a short commute down to San Diego State to play the Aztecs.<\/p>\n
The long-haul conference trips for the Bears include travel to Boston College, Virginia Tech, and Louisville. That is just three road games out of eight conference games.<\/p>\n
Scheduling challenges and nuanced changes will be part of the topics of conversation when the ACC coaches and athletic directors meet in Charlotte in February.<\/p>\n
