Jimbo Fisher lobbies for ACC rivalry games to be on set weekends

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. – Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says he brings the topic up at just about every ACC meeting, and he is usually met with blank stares.

Fisher wants the biggest ACC rivalry games on set weekends every year, just like Michigan-Ohio State, Texas-Oklahoma, Auburn-Alabama (and so on in the SEC).

For the Seminoles, does that mean a set annual date for Miami or for Clemson or …?

“All of the above,” Fisher says. “We have quite a few rivalries. It builds tradition. You build history, and how you play your season, how you plan your season, how you gauge your season of working up to it, how you set your timetables.
