They play on 9/12 in a “non-conference” game that won’t count towards their conference records. Thought that was pretty interesting

This is all I can find

quote:

“This is a unique opportunity to play a regional rival in years that fall outside the normal conference rotation,” Bubba Cunningham, the UNC athletic director, said in a statement. “We have a long history with Wake Forest that has historical value and will generate interest within our fans

Why so early? Season usually doesn’t start until November.

SEC should move to a 6/2 or 6/3 conference schedule with Alabama/Tennessee and Auburn/Georgia doing this if their games are so important.

They’re playing it because their conference is now so big they only play once every couple years and they’re supposed to be a rival. So they want to actually play each other. Conferences are too big.

This sounds more likely.

People are clamoring for UNC-Wake in football?

Many have been saying they should do this for years but Bama and Tennessee fans act like it's some insane idea that could never work.

I love when fans of other SEC schools tacitly admit that Bama and Tennessee break out the Pimp Hand on them.

Most of the conference is fine with the way it is.

Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
Georgia
Ole Miss
Missouri
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vanderbilt

None of these schools have any reason to have a problem with the current setup, so the other schools’ fans should kinda get over it.

Most southern teams are fine because there are only two P5 schools in most states.

Georgia-Georgia Tech
Clemson-South Carolina
Tennessee-Vanderbilt
Alabama-Auburn
Ole Miss-Mississippi State
Kentucky-Louisville

It’s an issue for the North Carolina schools because there are 4 of them and they put them in separate divisions.
