This is the first time two Power 5 teams from the same league have agreed to face each other in nonconference play. The games will not count in the league standings.

I have wondered why teams don't do this instead of claiming they have to be in the same division. Michigan and tOSU for example, could do this same thing, as could Texas and Oklahoma to balance out the divisions. Of course, Wake and NC are not players on the national scene, but still it is doable.
