GREENSBORO, N.C. - Home games against Florida State, NC State, Virginia and Wake Forest and road games at Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia Tech will highlight the 2005 Boston College football schedule. The Atlantic Coast Conference released the conference games-only portion of the league's football schedule for the 2005 season today.
Beginning next season, the ACC will play in football aligned into two six-team divisions - Atlantic and Coastal. Teams will play all five opponents in their division, plus one primary crossover opponent every year and two rotating opponents from the opposite division. The divisional champions will meet in the league's inaugural football championship game scheduled to be held at the ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla., on Saturday, December 3, 2005.
The primary principles used in determining the 2005 schedule were to fulfill as much as possible the "home-away" situations from the 2004 schedule and eliminate repeat site games from the 2004 season to the 2005 season.
In addition to its eight-game ACC slate, BC will play a road game at BYU and home games against Army and Ball State.
The ACC divisional alignment for the 2005 season:
Atlantic: Boston College, Clemson, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Florida State, Maryland.
