A little odd. Only four road games and two are at the very end. Two BYES around the FSU road game early. We don’t leave Florida until November.

…and they moved the Miami Notre Dame game to Sunday night rather than have it Saturday, the same day as Texas/Ohio State.

What we think?

I’d rather not have a bye before FSU. Kind of a momentum killer. (Assuming they are playing well.) Plus byes are better later in the season to rest injured players.

8 home games
4 away games

is kinda weird.

Yeah, if they’re gonna have us play FSU/UF together I guess I don’t mind the bye but I agree. Meanwhile, take that second bye and throw it after SMU. Seems pointless to have two early. You know that was just to accommodate other conference schedules as it does little for us.

It’s a tougher schedule than last year.

But, we have 8 home games. Assuming we will all 8 (a good possibility) and we win 2 of the road games. Great!

I don’t like the 2 byes within a 3 week period.

For us it’s all about the ACC. Those are the games that we really need to win to get into the CFP. However, the non con games still matter as well if we make the ACC Championship and then lose…comes down to the voters.

It’s a different world out there!
