But our loss to Pitt does?

I am not sure why or how that works, but we had one a couple of years ago versus UNC

It was a “rivalry” game they wanted to schedule. They already have 8 other conference games

Clemson didn't have a non-conference game against UNC a couple of years ago. That game in Chapel Hill in Mack's first year back counted as a conference game. It was our rotating opponent from the coastal that year like Pitt was our rotating opponent this year.

They scheduled it as a non-conference game. It's rare but not unheard of.

I think he meant divisional standings. So at the end of there are ties

Then the overall ACC record will separate the winner of the division.

They scheduled as if UNC was not in ACC. It doesn’t count
Nov 6, 2021, 11:13 PM

as an ACC game

It is a non conference game, the NC schools have been doing it regularly in years they aren't scheduled to play in conference competition.

I see the explanation, I stand corrected. Actually, good for WF and UNC to do that

When we expanded the ACC, they were placed in opposite divisions despite being major rivals. To come to an agreement, the ACC agreed to give them protected rivalries with one another to keep the rivalry up, and they played those two protected rivalries in 2019 and 2021. We have 0 history with Pitt, and didn't sign a contract years ago doing so with them.
