Quirks of the 2015 ACC schedule.

Noticed a few odds and ends on the conference schedule. If you've noticed any others, please share in the comments.

1. Seven ACC teams have seven home games. BC, Clemson, Louisville, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, UNC and Virginia only play away from home five times in 2015. UNC and BC in particular pulled scheduling coups, as one of their away from home games is a neutral site contest in their own state: UNC in Charlotte against USCe and BC plays Notre Dame at Fenway Park.

2. Boston College is home the entire month of September. Their first away game comes October 3 at Duke. Thanks to having seven home games, they never have more than two consecutive away games.

3. On the other end of the spectrum, Pitt opens at home September 5 and won't return to Heinz Field until October 10. In the interim they will play at Akron, at Iowa, have a bye week, and play at VT. Pitt never gets more than two back to back home games.

4. Speaking of bye weeks, Pitt ties with Miami, Syracuse and Florida State for the earliest bye, coming in week four. Boston College draws the longest straw, having to play ten games before a week off. VT ties with Georgia Tech for second longest before a bye, at nine games.

5. NC State and Boston College are the only two ACC schools not to schedule a P5 opponent in a non-conference game. BC does play Notre Dame, however. NC State plays a murderer's row of Troy, Eastern Kentucky, Old Dominion and South Alabama.

6. NC State plays AT Old Dominion and South Alabama. Other ACC teams that play away games at a mid-major's home field include Syracuse (at South Florida), Duke (at Tulane, at Army), Miami (at Florida Atlantic, at Cincinnati), Pitt (at Akron) and VT (at ECU).

7. Nobody opens conference play week one. The ACC slate opens week two with Wake Forest at Syracuse. VT is one of five teams to open conference play in week five. Thanks to an early bye week and a schedule frontloaded with non-conference games, Miami won't open ACC play until week six.

8. UVA has the farthest to travel to open the season, playing at UCLA week one. Of teams opening away from home, UNC travels the shortest distance, playing USCe at Charlotte.

I'm sure there's lots more interesting tidbits to be found, but these were the ones that jumped out at me.
