ACC Football Top 10 non-conference games continued

Clemson at South Carolina

The Palmetto Bowl was the longest continuous non-conference rivalry in the nation, the second longest continuous rivalry in Division I college football, and the longest uninterrupted rivalry series in the South until 2020. This game could have enormous implications or it could just be two teams who hate each other playing for bragging rights. The 120th meeting will be played Saturday, November 25th at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.

Pitt at Notre Dame

This game has been set for a Saturday, Oct. 28 a Halloween weekend matchup in South Bend. The Irish will be coming off a bye week when they renew this series for the 73rd time. The Panthers have three former Irish players on their roster – quarterback Phil Jurkovec, linebacker Shayne Simon and running back C’Borius Flemister. The Irish hold a 50-21-1 lead in the all-time series.

Minnesota at North Carolina

North Carolina and Minnesota agreed to a home-and-home football series for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. They have never met on the gridiron before. Drake Maye taking on Minnesota’s defense is going to be fun to watch. Minnesota fans are wondering what the offense will look like with a new coordinator and quarterback.
