ACC the latest victim of postponement due to COVID-19

The SEC has been hit very hard by cancellations of this weekend’s college football games but Thursday saw the ACC join that unfortunate list.

The list of games that have been cancelled or postponed for this weekend’s college football schedule is substantial.

No. 1 Alabama’s trip to LSU was postponed earlier this week as was No. 3 Ohio State’s game at Maryland and No. 5 Texas A&M traveling to Tennessee.

There were plenty of others as well including No. 12 Georgia no longer heading to Missouri this weekend or No. 24 Auburn taking on Mississippi State.

Four other games in Group of Five conferences had also been canceled or postponed but on Thursday the ACC joined the unfortunate club as Pittsburgh’s game at Georgia Tech has been postponed until December 12.

Previously scheduled as the weekend to possibly hold the ACC Championship Game, December 12 will now see three regular season conference games:

No. 2 Notre Dame at Wake Forest
Virginia at Virginia Tech
Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech

The ACC Championship Game has officially been scheduled for December 19 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

College Football/ACC Update – Syracuse and Georgia Tech gets underway

After a COVID-19 scare, Syracuse and Georgia Tech has gotten underway. Here’s an update to today’s events so far.

Earlier Saturday the start of the Syracuse home game against Georgia Tech was delayed due to three players on the Orange needing to be re-tested for COVID-19.

Those tests have been administrated and the results came back negative which means the game was able to get underway, albeit twenty minutes later than planned.

Syracuse released the following statement as the game kicked off:

The delay didn’t slow the Orange but doesn’t seem to have done Georgia Tech any favors as Syracuse has jumped out to a 17-0 lead early on in this ACC match-up.
