Big Ten Conference

Virginia opens the ACC's 49th season traveling to Big Ten foe Wisconsin to meet the Badgers in The Eddie Robinson Classic. That game is one of 11 non-conference games against 10 teams which earned post-season bowl invitations last year including East Carolina (twice), Florida, Georgia, Miami, Northwestern, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

In 2001, ACC schools will face seven non-conference teams which finished in the Top 25 of the Bowl Championship Series standings, including four opponents in the BCS Top 12. ACC teams will play 16 games with non-conference foes which won seven or more games and the cumulative winning percentage for the ACC non-conference opponents in 2000 was .553 (156-126). Prior to the start of the 2000 bowl campaign, Atlantic Coast Conference teams posted a 19-9 (.679) mark against non-conference foes this past season.
