Onward and upward -- I'm eager to see what a Stanford-in-the-ACC football schedule looks like next year?  

Looks like TCU, Cal Poly, and Notre Dame are booked, and I'd have to think we'll have Cal and probably SMU on the schedule.  Who else?

How many OOC games does the ACC allow?

We need some cupcakes!  (Or are we the cupcake?)

ACC plays eight conference football games so four OOC games

I think 2024 is the last year of the ND contract so not sure if that game would count as one of the games ND plays each season vs ACC teams

Has Miami fallen that far? I'd have put them on the list instead of UNC.

Which list? The one in the tweet? Those were the schools who voted no. T'was a very funny joke. . . .

So, with 18 teams now, I imagine they break into 2 divisions and how would that look?

My WAG is straight along academic lines, per London Times Higher Education rankings. We'll have the Academic conference and the Football Factory conference:

Academic
Stanford (4), Cal (8), Duke (23), Georgia Tech (45), North Carolina (52), Virginia (127), Notre Dame (183), Miami and Boston College (201-250)

Football Factory
Florida State and Virginia Tech (251-300), NC State and Wake Forest (301-350), Syracuse (351-400), Kentucky (501-600), Clemson (801-1000), Louisville (unranked)

If we go by US News & World Report, it doesn't change much. Miami moves down, Wake Forest moves up:

Academic
Stanford (3), Duke (10), Notre Dame (18), Cal (20), Virginia (25), North Carolina (29), Wake Forest (29), Boston College (36), Georgia Tech (44)

Football Factory
Florida State (55), Miami (55), Pittsburgh (62), Syracuse (62), Virginia Tech (62), NC State (72), Clemson (77), Kentucky (137), Louisville (182)

No, I don’t think they’ll break into divisions. The way now is to just have one big conference and you all just play who you play (largely based on a conference-determined rotation) and the best records play in that conference championship game, get ranked in the top 12, etc.

How about trying it with SMU?

I believe playing ND will count as an ACC game--for both schools.   might become an annual fixture along with Cal, and possible SMU given travel.   But we will see . . .

I don't think so. ND is obligated to play several games a year against ACC opponents, but I'm pretty sure those games don't count in the conference standings. So Stanford's game against ND will count towards ND's obligation, but it will still be a nonconference game for Stanford.

Notre Dame is currently on a set cycle through the 14 other teams in about 3 years. It will be interesting to see if they can accommodate an annual game with Stanford. ND will be coming to Cal every 4-6 years as well.

correct, the ND-ACC team football games do not count in the ACC standings

2024 is I believe the last year of the current ND series contract.

Carolina and Wake often schedule each other as non conference when not scheduled.  This really confused the dullards at NC State when they couldn't understand why the Wake Forrest loss didn't help them but that is another story.  ND could easily schedule Stanford as a regular nonACC obligation game in a similar matter on the years the league doesn't schedule a game. It is up to the individual schools.
