Personally, I’m excited to see when we travel to Dallas. That’s a pretty manageable road trip for us that I’d like to make.
Future ACC football schedules unveiling next Monday on ACCN

Nutting ready to pencil in some nighttime Succos games up to 7 years in the future!
The “MODEL” should show each existing ACC team traveling to the San Francisco area once every two years and once to Dallas every other year.
Hopefully an existing ACC team will not be scheduled to travel to San Francisco and Dallas in the same year.
Each new member of the ACC needs four ACC home opponents each year and with 14 existing ACC members and 2 other new ACC members this should be doable. Also remember that Stanford, Cal and SMU are available to travel to each other’s stadiums.
Hail to Pitt.

That's probably more equitable that the model I came up with where Clemson, North Carolina and FSU play all their games at SMU, Cal or Stanford, rotating between the three opponents all season long; and the rest of the 11 teams play a 10 game conference schedule 5 home/5 away games each year.
Would it really be a big deal (or for that matter, any deal at all) if a team played two years in a row in California and then didn't play there in either of the next two seasons as opposed to play there one year, skip one year, play there the next year, skip the next year?
Will it be that much of a hardship for, say, Pitt to play a game at Cal and at SMU the same year instead of at Cal and at Miami?
My proposal was just that.
Who knows what the conference offices will come up with.
Hopefully the ACC will come up with a solution that is equitable for all members.
My guess is that they have solicited input from each team and taken those suggestions into consideration.
The proposed schedules will be sent to each team for comment, consideration given when possible and then posted and implemented.
No matter what schedule is adopted by the conference office some teams will not like the result.
So far, the ACC Commissioner and the ACC Conference has taken a fair and equitable approach toward all of its members; despite the “Tobacco Road” biases some claim to exist. We as fans may not like the results or claim unfair treatment but such is life.
