Earlier today, the ACC made several changes to their scheduling and Medical Advisory Report.

Several schedule adjustments have been made, including an update to the Medical Advisory Report.

Notre Dame was originally set to play Wake Forest on their home turf on Saturday, September 26th. However, their Week 3 excursions were postponed due to COVID-19 complications. The bout’s postponement date was then set for December 12th.

However, with Notre Dame holding all tiebreakers, they have already clinched their spot in the ACC Championship Game. Wake Forest will now travel to Kentucky to face off with Louisville. The scheduling change gives Notre Dame two weeks to prepare for the ACC Championship Game, where they will more than likely face off with Clemson.

This matchup itself will make waves and it will also be a piece of college football history. Notre Dame will play in a conference championship game for the first time since they first fielded a football team 133 years ago.
