As such, we will host a game every other year the Saturday after Thanksgiving (which if fair), and it will always be versus Cal. I like it as that also eliminates the possibility of hosting Clemson/Florida St./Miami that weekend when everyone is gone!

Cal/Stanford should always be played on rivalry week but we'll see if the ACC messes that one up

Mustangs Announce 2024 ACC Schedule

CHARLOTTE, N.C (ACC/SMU). – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the upcoming 2024 season schedule for all teams on Wednesday. With the release, SMU has dates set for their conference opponents next season.

The eight-game slate begins with a home contest against Florida State (Sept. 28), part of a four-game homestand to open the year. The Mustangs hit the road for three straight after that with games at Louisville (Oct. 5), Stanford (Oct. 19) and Duke (Oct. 26) to wrap up the month of October.

November opens with home games against Pitt (Nov. 2) and Boston College (Nov. 16). The Mustangs head back on the road for its final away game at Virginia (Nov. 23) before the home finale against Cal on Nov. 30.

The Mustangs will play one weeknight game in the upcoming year, a non-conference game against BYU at home on Friday, Sept. 6, bunched in-between the season opener against HCU (Aug. 31) and 103rd edition of the "Battle for the Iron Skillet" against TCU (Sept. 21).

Times and TV information for all games are TBD and will be announced as they become available.

Would be a fun game, but I see 12 scheduled games:

Does *anyone* other than SMU in FBS need a 12th game at this point?

"Bronowski extended offers to basically the entire Proper High Offensive line Wednesday"

TCU, Baylor, TT and those ilk may be sorry they've opened that door by blackballing SMU from Big 12...
