ACC NOTES

ACC WELCOMES CAL, SMU AND STANFORD

The ACC Board of Directors voted on Sept. 1 to formally admit the University of California, Berkeley (Cal), Southern Methodist University (SMU) and Stanford University to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Cal, SMU and Stanford will join the ACC as full members with full voting participation effective July 1, 2024 (SMU) and August 2, 2024 (Stanford and Cal). The decision followed the submission of letters of application from all three institutions.

The additions of Cal, SMU and Stanford enhance and strengthen the ACC academically, athletically and financially as well as create a true national conference that spans coast to coast. The incoming universities enrich the league’s competitiveness in all sports and further demonstrate the ACC’s commitment to broad-based programs for both women and men. More than 2,200 student-athletes from Cal, SMU and Stanford will join the nearly 10,000 current ACC student-athletes competing at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics.

GREATNESS IS WHAT WE DO

The ACC announced its new creative campaign, “ACCOMPLISH GREATNESS,” a multi-part brand campaign highlighting the vast success of the ACC’s athletics and academics alike. The campaign launched ahead of the ACC’s official college football season on Week 1. The series will continue with multi-sport spots highlighting the ACC’s incredible accomplishments in all sports throughout the academic year.

ACC on ABC/ESPN

During the first three weeks of the season, the ACC had a pair of games on ABC’s “Saturday Night Football” as well as 11 appearances on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2.

In addition to the games already played, the ACC will be featured in three ABC games over the next two weeks, as No. 4 Florida State and Clemson play in ABC’s Saturday noon game this Saturday, Sept. 23, while in Week 5, Clemson and Syracuse will kick-off at noon ET on ABC. ABC’s “Saturday Night Football” will feature Notre Dame at Duke on Saturday, Sept. 30, at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Overall during the first five weeks of the season, the ACC will have three games on ABC’s “Saturday Night Football”, as well as a total of 19 appearances on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2.

ACC TEAMS RANKED NATIONALLY IN WEEK 4

For the third consecutive week, the ACC had four teams ranked in the Associated Press (AP) Top 25 poll (Sept. 17). Florida State came in at No. 4, while North Carolina (No. 17), Duke (No. 18) and Miami (No. 20) all moved up in the poll. Clemson came in the next highest with 76 votes, putting them just outside of the top 25, while Syracuse and Louisville also received at least one vote this week.

NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS

The ACC is off to a great start to the 2023 season, going 26-10 (.722) overall in non-conference play over the first three weeks of the season.

Eight of the ACC’s 26 non-conference wins have come against the Big Ten and the SEC, with the ACC recording four wins over each of the two conferences. The rest of the nation is 9-32 overall versus the two Power 5 conferences.

In fact, the ACC has seven undefeated teams remaining in non-conference play, the second-most among any conference in all of FBS.

STREAKING

The ACC has four teams that are riding winning streaks of four games or more entering Week 4 of the season, highlighted by Florida State’s nine-game winning streak, which is the fourth-longest current winning streak in all of FBS.

Florida State is on a nine-game win streak, while Duke has won each of its last five games. Both Wake Forest and Louisville have won four consecutive games dating back to last season.

Wake Forest, who opens up ACC play this week, has won 12 straight non-conference games, the second-longest streak behind only Georgia and the Bulldogs’ 19-straight non-conference wins.
