What Time Is California vs. Syracuse and What Channel?
3:30 p.m. ET on ACC Network from the dome in Syracuse.
The Coast to Coast ACC Problem, in One Game
This is the realignment reality. California, on the Pacific coast, flies to upstate New York for a conference game in Week 2. That is a five hour flight and a three hour time change for a mid afternoon Eastern kickoff.
Cal opened 0-1 with a 45-24 loss to UCLA. Syracuse is 1-0. An early conference loss is expensive in a league this large, where the top two records reach the championship game and tiebreakers get ugly.
The Bottom Line
3:30 p.m. ET Saturday on ACC Network. Syracuse at home indoors against a team crossing the country, with real standings consequences for both.
