ACC football schedule format: Conference moving to 9 games

The Power Four conferences in college football are moving in unison.

Following the SEC's August decision to follow in the footsteps of the Big Ten and Big 12 to play a nine-game conference schedule , the ACC announced it was doing the same on Monday, Sept. 22. The conference will move from an eight-game schedule to nine, though the conference's news release did not indicate when the schedule change would happen.
