Also, the ACC plays an 8-game conference slate, which would help with Cal’s travel burden. What I think is ludicrous (though I would be fine if Cal could schedule this way, given the other huge disadvantages they’ll face logistically) is the following: top teams in these other power conferences (SEC, ACC) will sometimes have eight home games and four away games in a season.

I couldn’t remember if the ACC has an 8 game conference schedule. This is a good thing for us.
Assuming we play Stanford and SMU every season, they only leaves 6 more ACC conference games to schedule, 3 of those would be at Memorial and 3 would be on the east coast, so travel won’t be that bad for us. I would like to see us have an early season ACC game within the first 3 weeks as that would help spread out the east coast travel.

Yeah, that would be nice, in most seasons. But, we’re already traveling to Auburn in the first week of September 2024.
