The ACC was set to have three games played this weekend, but unfortunately, only one is now scheduled to be played.
Thankfully, the silver lining here comes with the fact that the one ACC game that is set to be played will be the 2020 conference championship showdown between Clemson and Notre Dame in Charlotte.
That means that Georgia Tech at Miami and Florida State at Wake Forest have both been canceled. The Georgia Tech at Miami game was previously canceled while the Florida State and Wake Forest game was canceled on Friday.
Here is the statement issued by the conference on Friday regarding the game:
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that tomorrow’s Florida State at Wake Forest football game has been canceled.
Earlier today, Florida State informed the conference office of a positive test, subsequent quarantining, and contact tracing resulting in Florida State having an insufficient number of available offensive linemen as outlined in the ACC Medical Advisory Group’s COVID-19 game discontinuation considerations. The ACC Medical Advisory Group report is available on theACC.com.
As was previously announced, the 2020 ACC Football scheduling model includes 11 games (10 conference plus one non-conference), played over at least 13 weeks with each team having two open dates. Through games of Dec. 12, the ACC has played 85 of its 96 scheduled games (88.5 percent).
