Of course this is football. One of 15 possible Stanford teams traveling east in the new ACC

so let's speculate on other sports

men's basketball

- currently the ACC plays 20 conference games 

for 2023-24 Teams will play their two primary rivals both home and away (four games) and four repeat opponents both home and away (eight games). The remaining eight opponents will be single games, with four at home and four on the road. 

hard to make playing everyone at least once work with 18 teams and 20 games so maybe they go to 21 conference games

- two primary rivals home and away (so for us Cal and SMU?) - four games
- two repeat opponents (home and away) - four games
- the remaining 13 opponents will be single games with seven/six at home and six/seven on the road - 13 games

so nine/ten conference games road games in the central and eastern time zones each year so five big roadtrips a year?
