Some thoughts:

—Once again the ACC opts to give Louisville Clemson at the beginning of the season and Florida State in October. They are very protective of FSU-Clemson being the late season game for the conference.

—If the Cards can start 3-0, they’re probably going to be cruising into October with a 5-0 record and a top five ranking.

—I’m pretty sure this will be the first time in my conscious life that Louisville won’t have a weeknight home game. That’s pretty crazy.

—That is a long time to play before getting to your bye week.
