What's this?

It does in the sense that the Pac-12 teams don't have to feel


obligated to play an ACC team too in the years they are already scheduled to play Notre Dame because they are using Notre Dame to check off the ACC box. Now that assumes the 3 conferences are requiring their members to play so many conference games each season or within a period of time.

For example, Babcock could call up USC's AD to try to schedule either a neutral site game out west to return the favor for the game at FedEx Field or a home-home series. The AD could respond by saying, "We would love to play VT, but we already checked the ACC box by agreeing to a home-home series with Notre Dame prior to formation of the Alliance and we don't have room on our schedule to play a second P5 opponent."

Excluding Clemson, FSU, and maybe Miami, I think most Pac-12 schools would rather play Notre Dame than any of the remaining ACC schools. Right now Notre Dame probably has 6-7 games already decided on its future schedules (i.e. ACC games, Navy game, and USC game), so it could be interesting to see who Notre Dame gets to fill its remaining slots and how many of them are from the 2 other Alliance conferences.

  This is not a big deal at all for one simple reason, the future schedules -- HokieAl 08/30/2021 08:26AM
  They aren't in the Ftball Conf that's a big deal, 2nd that's 10 games, 3rd -- Stech 08/30/2021 12:53PM
  I think you are right..... -- 2hhoop3 08/30/2021 12:13PM
  It is if their Pac-12 games displace ACC vs Pac-12 games -- EDGEMAN 08/30/2021 09:49AM
  Unless ND and USC stop playing, then no other ACC -- D-Day 08/30/2021 09:39AM
  I thought the talk was to schedule at least two alliance games. -- reestuart 08/30/2021 09:47AM
  At this point...... -- 2hhoop3 08/30/2021 11:01AM
  For ACC teams one PAC and one BIG. -- D-Day 08/30/2021 10:07AM
  If ND counts as an ACC game, their second will be against a B1X team ** -- EDGEMAN 08/30/2021 09:51AM

  The USC game will be protected. Other -- goldendomer 08/29/2021 8:53PM
  They'll have to be careful how the Alliance does the schedules -- daveinop 08/30/2021 2:10PM
  Why would that need to be protected, ND is not in ACC football? ** -- Stech 08/29/2021 8:55PM
  My guess is because the Pac 12 and Big Ten want to protect their ND games ** -- TerryD 08/29/2021 8:58PM
  It is fine if the Big Ten and Pac-12 want to protected their future -- VTHokie2000 08/30/2021 11:53AM
  Should have nothing to do with it since they aren’t an ACC football team. ** -- Stech 08/29/2021 9:32PM
  Then ACC teams should be able to count ND games as B10 or PAC games -- jesuisvtguy 08/29/2021 9:29PM
  Who says the ACC agreed to it? -- VTHokie2000 08/30/2021 11:34AM

  How would Notre Dame have a vote in the Alliance? -- duro 08/30/2021 10:25PM
  No, I am talking about the broader issue of the Big Ten and Pac-12 -- VTHokie2000 08/30/2021 11:56AM

  Works for me, I guess -- TerryD 08/29/2021 10:34PM
  Yep, this again is not solely an ND thing -- goldendomer 08/29/2021 11:29PM
