This past weekend many looked at the point-spread between No. 9 Miami and unranked Virginia Tech and were confused to see a struggling Hokies team as a slight favorite.
Then news came out Saturday morning that Miami was dealing with a bit of a COVID-19 outbreak on their team and would be playing the game short-handed.
Miami went on to sneak out of Blacksburg with a one-point victory, but they didn’t escape without lasting issues for the rest of the season as Monday saw the entirety of their remaining regular season switched up.
Miami’s contest against Georgia Tech has been moved from this weekend to Saturday, December 19, assuming the Hurricanes don’t qualify for the ACC Championship Game.
Their game at Wake Forest that had been scheduled for November 28 will now be played on December 5 while their final home game of the regular season against North Carolina moves from December 5 to 12.
In order to make this work the ACC had to rearrange a few other games:
- Wake Forest at Louisville moves from Dec. 5 to Nov. 28
- Western Carolina at North Carolina moves from Dec. 11 to Dec. 5
- Louisville at Boston College moves from Nov. 27 to Dec. 12
If that seems crazy then make sure you remember there is still almost a month of regular season ACC games still remaining and that this could very possibly be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of craziness.
