ACC N OT E STHE WEEK AHEAD - SEPT. 26• Virginia and Virginia Tech are slated to begin the season this weekend in a pair of conference games. The Cavaliers welcome Duke to Charlottesville and the 20th-ranked Hokies play host to NC State. Virginia has had four different scheduled openers since the initial schedule was announced in January - Georgia (canceled), VMI (canceled), Virginia Tech (postponed) and Duke. Duke has been the scheduled opening opponent for four different teams - MTSU (canceled), Notre Dame, Boston College and Virginia.
• One of only three games between ranked teams this week, No. 21 Pitt plays host to No. 24 Louisville on Saturday at noon on ACCN. This is the first meeting between the old Big East rivals since 2015, Pat Narduzzi's first year at Pitt.
• Wake Forest plays host to Notre Dame for the second time in three seasons. Saturday’s game, originally sched-uled for Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, was moved to Truist Field in Winston-Salem due to the concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Georgia Tech plays at Syracuse Saturday at noon. It's the first meeting between the two schools since Syra-cuse's inaugural season in the ACC in 2013.
• ESPN College GameDay will be in Miami this week-end for the Florida State at No. 12 Miami game. This is the eighth time Miami has hosted GameDay and the Hurricanes are 6-1 in previous matchups with wins over Florida State (2), UCLA, Virginia Tech, Syracuse and Notre Dame. The only loss came to FSU in 2006.
• Florida State is making its 35th appearance on College GameDay, which is the fifth-most in the nation. FSU will be without head coach Mike Norvell, who announced Sept. 19 that he had tested positive for COVID-19. Deputy head coach Chris Thomsen will handle in-person coach-ing duties in Norvell’s absence.
• Boston College welcomes Texas State to The Heights for a non-conference matchup at 6 p.m. on RSN. Last week, head coach Jeff Hafley earned his first win at BC with a 26-6 win over Duke. WR Zay Flowers (5 receptions, 162 yards, TD) earned BC's first ACC Receiver of the Week award since 2013.
PITT'S WEAVER NAMED WALTER CAMP NATIONAL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK• Pitt senior defensive end Rashad Weaver posted a team-high seven tackles (five solo), three for losses and two quarterback sacks as the 25th-ranked Panthers defeated Syracuse, 21-10. Weaver is the eighth Pitt player to earn the recognition since 2004, and first since former running back Darrin Hall (Nov. 5, 2018). Each week, the Walter Camp Football Foundation honors one offensive and one defensive player as its national FBS player of the week during the regular season.
FOUR ACC QBS SELECTED TO DAVEY O'BRIEN GREAT 8• Four ACC quarterbacks (most of any conference) have been named to the Davey O'Brien Award Great 8 list for their performances Saturday, Sept. 19. Boston College's Phil Jurkovec, Miami's D'Eriq King, Notre Dame's Ian Book and Pitt's Kenny Pickett earned the honor. Any player named to a Great 8 list during the season who was not previously named to the Preseason Watch List will be added to the Midseason Watch List and will be eligible to be voted a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award. Jurkovec and Pickett join the watch list this week.
THREE ACC QBS NAMED MANNING AWARD STARS OF THE WEEK• Three ACC quarterbacks have been named Manning Award "Stars of the Week" - Boston College's Phil Jurkovec, Miami's D'Eriq King and Pitt's Kenny Pickett. Fans can now go to the Allstate Sugar Bowl Facebook page to vote for what they think was the best performance from this past weekend. When voting closes on Thursday at noon, the top vote-getter will be announced as the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week.
Phil Jurkovec, Boston College (17-of-23, 300 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, QBR: 84.1) - Jurkovec, making his first career start, led the Eagles to a TD on their first drive, then completed 6-of-7 third-quarter passes for 151 yards and a pair of TDs as Boston College claimed a 26-6 road victory over Duke.
D’Eriq King, Miami (18-of-30, 325 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 77.3) - King tallied his sixth career 300-yard game, which included a 75-yard third-quarter TD pass that broke open a tight game as the Hurricanes earned a road victory with a 47-34 victory over No. 18 Louisville.
Kenny Pickett, Pitt (25-of-36, 215 yards 2 TDs, 1 INT, QBR: 56.1) - Pickett, who also rushed for a touchdown, accounted for all three Panthers’ scores in a 21-10 victory over Syracuse.
TWO FROM ACC ON HORNUNG AWARD HONOR ROLL• Two ACC players earned recognition on the Paul Hor-nung Award Honor Roll for the week of Sept. 19 – Georgia Tech freshman running back/return specialist Jahmyr Gibbs and NC State junior running back/return specialist Ricky Person, Jr. The Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse, now in its 11th season, is given annu-ally to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission and football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung.
• Gibbs accounted for 219 all-purpose yards and two scores in the Yellow Jackets loss to UCF. Gibbs opened the game with a 75-yard kickoff return that set up Tech’s first score. He caught a nine-yard touchdown pass late in the first half and rambled 33 yards for a score on the ground early in the second half as Georgia Tech narrowed UCF’s lead to 28-21.
• Person touched the ball four different ways and accounted for touchdowns two different ways, including the winning score, as the Wolfpack outlasted Wake Forest 45-42 in Raleigh. Pearson scored on a one-yard run in the second quarter, threw a two-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter and ran three yards for the winning score with 3:21 remaining. He also caught two passes and handled three kickoffs.
NINE ACC QBS MAKE START IN NFL• The ACC leads the country with nine starting quarter-backs in the NFL – Boston College's Matt Ryan (Falcons), Clemson's Deshaun Watson (Texans), Duke's Daniel Jones (NY Giants), Louisville's Lamar Jackson (Ravens) and Teddy Bridgewater (Panthers), North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky (Bears), NC State's Philip Rivers (Colts) and Russell Wilson (Seahawks) and Virginia Tech's Tyrod Taylor (Chargers).
RETURN TO COMPETITION• The ACC Board of Directors announced July 29 that if public health guidance allows, ACC sponsored fall sports would begin competition during the week of Sept. 7-12. The announcement followed several months of discussion and scenario planning among the league membership and Medical Advisory Group. The Medical Advisory Group continues to meet and update its report.
2020 ACC Football:• The season’s first games took place Sept. 10-12• The 2020 scheduling model includes 11 games (10 plus one: 10 conference and one non-conference)• All non-conference game opponents, selected by the respective school, must be played in the home state of the ACC institution, and all non-conference opponents must meet the medical protocol requirements as agreed upon by the ACC• The 11 games will be played over at least 13 weeks with each team having two open dates• There will be one division• Notre Dame will also play a 10-game conference sched-ule and be eligible to compete in the 2020 ACC Football Championship Game• All television revenue for the 2020 season, including Notre Dame’s home games broadcast by NBC, will be shared equally by all 15 institutions• The ACC Football Championship Game will be played on either December 12 or 19 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will feature the top two teams based upon highest conference-game winning percentage • All 15 teams will continue to be part of the ACC’s bowl selection process; should Notre Dame win the ACC Football Championship Game it would be eligible for the Orange Bowl, if not selected as a College Football Playoff semifinal team
RETURNING STANDOUTS• For the first time in ACC history, the league returned two quarterbacks (North Carolina’s Sam Howell and Clem-son’s Trevor Lawrence) who threw 35 or more touchdown passes the previous season. Add in Miami’s D’Eriq King, who threw 36 TDs in 2018 at Houston, and the ACC has the only three QBs in the country playing this fall who have thrown 35 or more touchdowns in a single season. The only other returning quarterback who threw 35-plus touchdowns last year was Ohio State’s Justin Fields.
• The ACC is the only FBS conference with two returning 1,500-yard rushers in Clemson’s Travis Etienne (1,604 yards) and Louisville’s Javian Hawkins (1,525 yards). The

ACC COMMITTEE FOR RACIAL & SOCIAL JUSTICEThe ACC’s Committee for Racial and Social Justice (CORE - Champions of Racial Equity) announced three initiatives in conjunction with its member institutions on Sept. 3. • Mandatory diversity and inclusion training for stu-dent-athletes, athletic department and conference staff• Creation of ACC Unity Symbol as a visual representation of solidarity among the ACC’s 15 institutions• ACC Unity Statement to be read prior to every league contest “I applaud the work of ACC CORE and the initiatives collaborated on and adopted by our schools,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “It is critically important for our country to unite as one. The ACC is committed to creating meaningful change, eradicating racism, and upholding the values of equality, diversity and non-discrimi-nation." “In a time of great challenges where society seems more divided than ever before, we the student-athletes of the ACC want to take a stand against racism, discrimination and any other form of injustice,” said Leon Krapf from the NC State Men’s Soccer Team and the ACC’s representative to NCAA SAAC. “As athletes, we know that sport has the power to unite people from all backgrounds. However, we are more than just athletes. Therefore, we want to use our platforms to advocate for a more tolerant, understanding and inclusive environment on our campuses and beyond. We will overcome our current challenges if we act together and united. #UNITE!” Student-athletes, athletic department and conference office staff will be required to attend annual diversity and inclu-sion training. The initiative was unanimously approved by the conference athletic directors. The focus of this year’s training will be anti-racism. The ACC’s unity symbol – “UNITE” – will be displayed in venues and on video boards throughout the league, as well as at ACC Championship events and on social media. CORE also has introduced a Unity Statement, which will be read at all ACC events: “We, the ACC, are committed to seeing each other as equals, supporting each other, and treating each other with respect and dignity at all times, recognizing that our differences don't divide us, but they make us stronger.” CORE’s work is ongoing and guided by its mission statement, which is “to promote and encourage racial equity and social justice through education, partnerships, engagement and advocacy.” Among CORE’s actions to date: the ACC Office’s recognition of Juneteenth as a holiday; working with its institutions to increase voter education and vote, with some ACC schools serving as polling places; engaging in conversations and education throughout the conference with staff and student-athletes and initiating partnerships with local orga-nizations and community groups; empowering students and student-athletes to engage with fans around the topic of social justice to minimize misunderstandings. CORE’s central values and goals:• Create meaningful, lasting change by improving systems, organizational structures, policies, practices and attitudes• Have representation at all levels that is reflective of the make-up of the student-athlete population• Inclusion and empowerment of diverse individuals• Accountability for hiring practices• Integrity• Fairness

COACHING RECORDS 2020 ACC FOOTBALL TIEBREAKER POLICYThe ACC Champion will be decided by a game between the two postseason eligible teams with the highest percentage of wins during all regular season conference competition.
However, for any team to be eligible for the ACC Football Championship Game, or to be considered in a tiebreak-er, such team must have played within one (1) total conference game of the average number of conference games played by all conference teams (rounding up/down at .5) during the 2020 season. For example, if the average number of conference games played in the 2020 season is 9.25 (value of nine (9) when rounded down), a team would be eligible to participate in the ACC Football Championship Game, or be considered in a tiebreaker, if that team played eight (8) or more conference games. Furthermore, in the event there is an unequal total number of conference games played among teams tied in the loss column, head-to-head results will take precedence over win-percentage.
If teams remain tied, existing procedures will be applied to determine the ACC Football Championship Game represen-tative(s). Overall conference standings will be calculated on a percentage basis, using the ten conference games which are part of the schedule. If teams are tied for the best win percentage or second best win percentage in its conference games then, in order to determine the Championship Game representative, the procedures listed below will be followed.
Two-Team Tie1. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.2. Head-to-head competition versus the team with the best overall win percentage and proceeding though the con-ference. Multiple ties within the conference will be broken from first to last using the league’s tiebreaker policies.3. Overall win percentage versus all common conference opponents.4. Win percentage versus common conference opponents based upon their order of finish (overall conference win percentage) and proceeding through other common conference opponents based upon their conference order of finish.5. The tied team with the higher ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games.6. The representative shall be chosen by a draw as admin-istered by the Commissioner or Commissioner’s designee.
Three-Team (or More) Tie(Three-team (or more) tiebreaker procedure will be used to break all ties to identify the Championship game representative. Once a team is eliminated from the tie, the tiebreaker procedures restart for the remaining teams. If the three-team (or more) tie can be reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker format will then be applied).1. Combined head-to-head win percentage among the tied teams.2. Head-to-head competition versus the team within the conference with the best overall conference win percentage and proceeding through the conference. Multiple ties within the conference will be broken first to last, using the league’s tiebreaker policies.3. Combined win percentage versus all common confer-ence opponents.4. Win percentage versus common conference opponents based upon their order of finish (overall conference win percentage) and proceeding through other common conference opponents based upon their conference order of finish.5. The tied team with the higher ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games.6. The representative shall be chosen by a draw as admin-istered by the Commissioner or Commissioner’s designee.Note: Conference games against otherwise postseason ineligible teams will always be counted in the league stand-ings and in application of the tie breaker policies.
