The current division structure leads to each team playing the following games : Starting with the 2017 season , ACC members will be required to play at least one non-conference game each season against a team in the " Power 5 " conferences . Games against Notre Dame also meet the requirement . In January 2015 , the conference announced that games against another FBS independent , BYU , would also count toward the requirement . ACC teams can also meet the requirement by scheduling one another in non-conference games ; the first example of this was also announced in January 2015 , when North Carolina and Wake Forest announced that they would play a home-and-home non-conference series in 2019 and 2021
