I believe the ACC requires all teams to play a game


the week before the CCG to prevent a team gaining a "competitive advantage" heading into the game. Currently, Miami and Pitt are the only ACC teams that don't have an established history of playing the same opponent (rivalry or not) on Thanksgiving weekend. So their only options are to either play each other or to try to find an OOC game for that weekend. Given that most schools are either playing an established opponent (conference or OOC) or a random conference game that weekend, then it may be difficult for them to find an OOC opponent. So why not decide to play each other and potentially turn it into a rivalry.
