UVA Football: ACC sets time for Nov. 23 home finale with #13 SMU

The UVA Football home finale on Saturday, Nov. 23, with #13 SMU will kick off at noon, per the ACC, in a news release issued on Monday.

Before you complain, the extended forecast from AccuWeather has the high in Charlottesville on Nov. 23 at 56 degrees, so it would have been getting chilly in the second half with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.

If you’re not going, and a lot of you aren’t, the game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

SMJ (8-1, 5-0 ACC) has Boston College (5-4, 2-3 ACC) this weekend, so you can presume that the Mustangs will still be on track for an ACC Championship Game berth the weekend of Nov. 23.

Virginia (5-4, 3-3 ACC), meanwhile, which travels to South Bend to face #10 Notre Dame (8-1) on Saturday, will likely still be looking for a sixth win to get to bowl eligibility when SMU comes to town.

ESPN Analytics gives the UVA Football squad a 4.1 percent chance of winning at Notre Dame on Saturday.

Notre Dame is a 23.5-point favorite, per Vegas.

ESPN Analytics gives Virginia a 21.0 percent chance of upsetting SMU on Nov. 23.

The regular-season finale is at Virginia Tech (5-5, 3-3 ACC).

ESPN Analytics gives Virginia a 23.8 percent chance of winning that one.

Virginia hasn’t won at Virginia Tech since 1998.
