GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference football schedule released today by Commissioner John D. Swofford is comprised of 96 games, including 48 conference match-ups, over a span of 14 weeks.

The schedule is capped off with the Fourth Annual Dr Pepper Atlantic Coast Conference Football Championship Game, which this year will be played on Dec. 6 in Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla.

Twenty of the league?s 48 non-conference games (42 percent) are against 14 teams that earned bowl berths in 2007 including four games with teams which finished ranked in the nation?s final Top 15 including second-ranked Georgia (Georgia Tech), third-ranked Southern California (Virginia) and two games against No. 14 Florida (Florida State, Miami).

Non-conference opponents who earned bowl bids this past season are Alabama, Central Florida (2 games), California, Colorado, Connecticut (2), East Carolina (3), Florida (2), Georgia, Navy (2), Rutgers, South Florida, Southern Cal and Texas A&M. In addition, this doesn?t include two games scheduled against South Carolina and one against Northwestern, which were bowl eligible, as well as two games against Notre Dame and one game with Nebraska.

In all, the ACC will play seven games on Thursday night that will be nationally televised by ESPN beginning with the season-opening NC State at South Carolina game on Aug. 28 but also including North Carolina at Rutgers (Sept. 11), Clemson at Wake Forest (Oct. 9), Florida State at NC State (Oct. 16), Maryland at Virginia Tech (Nov. 6), Virginia Tech at Miami (Nov. 13) and Miami at Georgia Tech (Nov. 20).
