ACC vs Power 5 matchups

This is a list of the power conference teams (Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, Notre Dame and SEC). Although the NCAA does not consider BYU a "Power Five" school, the ACC considers games against BYU as satisfying its "Power Five" scheduling requirement. The designated non-conference game between North Carolina and Wake Forest is not included in this list. All rankings are from the current AP Poll at the time of the game.
