Non-conference opponents who earned bowl bids this past season are Alabama, Central Florida (2 games), California, Colorado, Connecticut (2), East Carolina (3), Florida (2), Georgia, Navy (2), Rutgers, South Florida, Southern California and Texas A&M. In addition, this doesn't include two games scheduled against South Carolina and one against Northwestern, which were bowl eligible, as well as two games against Notre Dame and one game with Nebraska.

In all, the ACC will play seven games on Thursday night that will be nationally televised by ESPN beginning with the season-opening NC State at South Carolina game on Aug. 28 but also including North Carolina at Rutgers (Sept. 11), Clemson at Wake Forest (Oct. 9), Florida State at NC State (Oct. 16), Maryland at Virginia Tech (Nov. 6), Virginia Tech at Miami (Nov. 13) and Miami at Georgia Tech (Nov. 20).
