ACC Places Virginia Tech Game Against Clemson in Painful Six-Day Flex Window

When Virginia Tech’s 2024 football schedule was officially released, a lot of people had their game at home on Nov. 9 circled on the calendar. The Hokies are hosting ACC powerhouse Clemson in Blacksburg in what fans were hoping was going to be a big game in terms of ACC Championship Game ramifications.

It still may as the Tigers will enter the game as one of four undefeated teams in conference play along with Miami, SMU, and Pittsburgh. Virginia Tech is 3-1 in conference play with their lone loss coming at the hands of the Hurricanes on Sept. 27 in the overturned Hail Mary game, but they have a difficult road game this upcoming weekend at Syracuse, while Clemson will host Louisville.

ACC places Clemson at Virginia Tech in six-day hold

We are 12 days away from Clemson coming to Blacksburg and each team has a game this upcoming weekend, but on Monday, the ACC announced that they were placing the game, along with the other ACC game for No. 9 into the painful six-day flex window hold.

What does that mean? It means the same thing as it did last week when the conference announced that this weekend's game at Syracuse, was on the same hold. Late Saturday night, the ACC announced that the game at JMA Wireless Dome will kick at noon.

Trying to guess which time slot the Hokies and Tigers go into in nearly impossible. Other games that weekend include Miami at Georgia Tech, Syracuse at Boston College, Virginia at Pittsburgh and Duke at North Carolina State. Two games that weekend already have a time and channel. On Friday night, Nov. 8, California is at Wake Forest at 8 p.m. on the ACC Network and Saturday night, Florida State is at Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m. on NBC.
