The 2014 ACC schedule was released Wednesday and features Louisville's inaugural season in the conference, the first year of the ACC's partnership with Notre Dame and one of the nation's toughest nonconference schedules.

And, if that isn't enough, a weekend of rivalry games to end the regular season.

ACC teams will play more nonconference games against teams ranked in the final AP Top 25 (nine) than any of the other "power five" conferences.

"This is an exciting time in ACC football, and as we look ahead to the 2014 season, it's clear that our teams have once again combined for a strong lineup of nonconference opponents, along with our competitive league schedule," ACC commissioner John Swofford said in a prepared statement. "We look forward to welcoming Louisville into the ACC and beginning our annual scheduling agreement with Notre Dame."

National champion Florida State will begin its title defense Aug. 30 against Oklahoma State in the sixth annual Cowboys Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas -- which is also where the College Football Playoff will crown its first champion on Jan. 12, 2015.
