ACC Releases 2007 Composite Football Schedule

The ACC's football schedule for next year has been released. Obviously, that means Georgia Tech's schedule for 2007 is also out.

The ACC's schedule brings good news for Georgia Bulldog fans who are hoping for a night game vs. Oklahoma State to open the season. The ACC's schedule shows no overly compelling games that will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC for Sept. 1; therefore, ESPN and ESPN2 still have inventory for the season opener at night.

ACC Schedule for Sept. 1:

Wake Forest at Boston College
Connecticut at Duke
Georgia Tech at Notre Dame (NBC)
Villanova at Maryland
Marshall at Miami
James Madison at North Carolina
Central Florida at NC State
Virginia at Wyoming
East Carolina at Virginia Tech

The only quality games on Sept. 1st appear to be Tennessee at Cal (televised as part of the Pac-10's contract), GT at ND (televised as part of the NBC/ND deal) and UGA vs. Oklahoma State. Most of the big name schools are playing cupcakes, directional schools and fictitious state universities that weekend. A kickoff in Athens vs. the Cowboys continues to look like a 6:00-8:00 start time. CBS doesn't televised the SEC on opening weekend due to US Open tennis coverage.

GT's Schedule for 2007:

Sep. 1 at Notre Dame (NBC)
Sep. 8 SAMFORD
Sep. 15 BOSTON COLLEGE
Sep. 22 at Virginia
Sep. 29 CLEMSON
Oct. 6 at Maryland
Oct. 13 at Miami
Oct. 20 ARMY (Bobby Ross returns to BDS)
Nov. 1 VIRGINIA TECH (Thursday, ESPN)
Nov. 10 at Duke
Nov. 17 NORTH CAROLINA
Nov. 24 GEORGIA
*Home Games in All Caps

I'll post some thoughts on Georgia Tech's schedule at a later time.
