Louisville can't get their 61k stadium to 90 percent full when the team is 6-1, but they did sell out against the Domers. Excitement is generally high for a program under first-year coach Brohm. I think they will travel well next year to the surprise of some. I'm hopeful attendance will top 35k.
SMU games are poorly attended (about 23k at home games this year), but fans are going to be pretty drunk on ACCeptance to a "power" conference. I think attendance will be above 25k.
Va. Tech fans are insane, averaging 64k fans last year in a 3-8 year. I think they will travel, and their inclusion on the home schedule is a true blessing. I'm legit expecting 40k+.
Wake Forest, I'm not even going to bother to look up. It what in hindsight looks amazingly high, Stanford had an announced crowd of 36k when hosting Rice in 2016. How the "mighty" have fallen! I'll say that Wake Forest gets something like 2/3 of that number for attendance of 20k+.
All in all, the home schedule next year could be a lot worse.
