PITTSBURGH—The Atlantic Coast Conference has announced Pitt’s rotating crossover football opponents for the next 11 seasons.
The Panthers will annually play eight ACC games. Six of those contests will be against Coastal Division opponents (Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech) and two will be against Atlantic Division teams. Pitt will play Syracuse every year as a permanent Atlantic Division opponent. The other six Atlantic teams will rotate through the Panthers’ schedule over a 12-year period.
