Syracuse football and its Atlantic Coast Conference peers are expected to have an updated scheduling format in the future, although the final details are still being ironed out, according to ESPN's Andrea Adelson and David Hale.
The likely change is that all conference members will be required to play at least 10 games against power-four foes. However, whether the ACC will have eight or nine conference contests remains to be seen, ESPN reported, citing multiple sources.
The Big Ten Conference and the Big 12 Conference each currently play nine league affairs. The Southeastern Conference will go to nine conference contests beginning with the 2026 season.
