Virginia Tech announced the Austin Peay game will kickoff at 1:30 PM, and will be broadcast on ESPN3.

Woo!
/sarcastic enthusiasm

Although the extra hour and a half of tailgating is a positive.

As of now we know three other start times and networks in addition to Austin Peay: 9/3 Georgia Tech 8:00 ESPN, 11/1 at Miami 7:30 PM ESPN, and 11/8 Florida State 7:30 ESPN. If I had to guess, at Pitt, Cincinnati, at Clemson and Virginia all stand a good chance to be on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU, while the rest of the games will either be local on the ACC Network or ESPN3. If both Tech and Clemson are undefeated, that's an 8:00 Gameday game if I've ever seen one.

The rest of the ACC's early season TV schedule is here. Note that there are two Chick-fil-A kickoff games this year: NC State-Tennessee and Clemson-Auburn. ESPN sat the former at the kid's table (ESPNU). I think we can all laugh at that.

Moving forward.

So in 2013 Tech will host four ACC games. Right now they're scheduled to play: Miami, North Carolina, Boston College and Maryland in Lane. Pitt is supposed to come to Lane on the return trip of the non-conference home-and-home signed before they accepted membership into the ACC. If Pitt joins the ACC for the 2013 season like most people expect, what then? Either we play at Pitt twice, or an alternative would be Pitt travels to Blacksburg back-to-back in '13 and '14.
