CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 SPORTS)-- Bob Dylan said it best, the times, they are a-changin. With the additions of Cal, SMU and Stanford the ACC has revealed it's new football schedule model for the next seven years. 

The new schedule will continue with no divisions, feature 17 schools and will increase the number of annual conference matchups from 56 to 68. The top two teams based on conference winning percentage will compete in the ACC Football Championship Game on the first Saturday in December at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The approved format will continue to have each member institution play eight conference games per season, with all 17 teams playing each other at least twice over the next seven seasons – once at home and once on the road. The current 14 conference teams will play a total of three times each in California over the seven years and none will travel west to California in back-to-back seasons.

 

The new scheduling model protects 16 annual matchups. For the Cavaliers these two protected matchups include Virginia Tech and North Carolina each season from 204-2023. As for the new additions Virginia will play SMU, Cal, and Stanford a combined nine times with five being home and four on the road. 

Here is a look at the UVA schedule for the next seven seasons:
