Under the Dome
There were three primary objectives.
• Notre Dame is required to play
five ACC members each year, rotating with three at home and two
on the road one year, and then two
at home and three on the road the
next.
• Each of the 14 league members
will be played by Notre Dame during the first three-year rotation.
• During the second three-year
rotation from 2017-19, each of the
14 league members will have played
the Fighting Irish at home and in
Notre Dame Stadium at least once.
In a couple of cases, Notre Dame
already had an ACC team on the
schedule prior to joining the league.
It will still play in 2014 versus Syracuse (MetLife Stadium in East Ruth-
erford, N.J.) as planned, and play
host to Miami at home in 2016, as
planned.
In other cases, there are changes.
Notre Dame was slated to host Pitt
in 2014, but the ACC realignment
has changed the structure. The Panthers will host the Irish in 2015,
which had already been scheduled
before either team joined the ACC.
Here is the tentative breakdown
with the knowledge that 1) no dates
have been set yet for the ACC games
and 2) Navy, Stanford and USC are
the three consistent annual teams on
the slate:
2014 Notre Dame Schedule
ACC Home Games: Louisville, North Carolina
and Wake Forest.
ACC Road Games: Florida State and Syracuse
(at East Rutherford, N.J.).
