Obvious way to realign ACC divisions

I think doing it this way is a no brainer. Brings back traditional rivalries and eliminates the need to have a single cross division opponent every year. Can rotate both out of division games now. I would not mind a 9th conference game, but don't see that happening.

Atlantic: Clemson, NC State, Wake Forrest, Louisville, Duke, North Carolina, Georgia Tech

Coastal: Virginia Tech, Virginia, Miami, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Boston College, Florida State

Obvious to who? ** -- marcbvtgm 10/07/2019 11:09AM

*End annual fixed cross division game. Restore rivalries (ex: Duke/NCSt) ** -- MaskedRacer 10/09/2019 3:24PM

Again...obvious to who? ** -- marcbvtgm 10/15/2019 4:13PM

Blah...might as well be old Big East + Hoos, that we played anyway ** -- RTFC 10/06/2019 10:32PM

Just go with 4 Divisions with 4 teams and you have your best option. UVA & -- Stech 10/05/2019 10:58AM

Some options for Divisions: -- Stech 10/09/2019 07:51AM

Have two 8-team divisions.... -- Old Line Hokie 10/07/2019 9:55PM

Yes a few ways to do it. The cross over 4 teams could do a Home & Away -- Stech 10/09/2019 07:47AM

Great for basketball; football has one huge issue though** -- goldendomer 10/05/2019 11:16PM

P-4 with Conference Champions only is the only way for ND. Let's play out -- Stech 10/07/2019 12:04PM

I say let Irish have way. Get Cincy and wvu ** -- SoCloseHokie 10/06/2019 5:31PM

Let's find out at this point who brindg most TV $ -- HOO86 10/06/2019 8:22PM

If Notre Dame refuses to become a full member in the ACC -- VTHokie2000 10/07/2019 10:24AM

It would be the same formula we had with 15 members & 18 games. -- HOO86 10/07/2019 11:13AM

ND has won 16 of last 18 (losing to Clemson/Georgia) and 25 of last 31 -- TerryD 10/07/2019 12:44PM

The requirement of undefeated seasons to participate is limiting. -- HOO86 10/07/2019 12:54PM

2012 and 2018 are 25 years apart? -- TerryD 10/07/2019 1:03PM

They didn't play in a championship game in 2018. -- HOO86 10/07/2019 1:05PM

Only because the $$ is not there to be independent in basketball, etc -- TerryD 10/07/2019 1:14PM

You don't think the ACC would have been a 2-bid conference -- VTHokie2000 10/07/2019 4:54PM

I do. No way ND would get in -- TerryD 10/07/2019 4:59PM

I was assuming that Notre Dame was a full member -- VTHokie2000 10/07/2019 5:05PM

I agree with you, though....ND football is not joining the ACC -- TerryD 10/07/2019 12:40PM

I'm not excited about adding Houston or SMU, not even Texas-Austin -- Old Line Hokie 10/07/2019 10:29AM

If ND holds firm with football independence, then the ACC should... -- EDGEMAN 10/07/2019 09:21AM

I can see ND Football ACC Champs 2155. -- goldendomer 10/07/2019 11:46AM

We won't be around to experience that. -- Old Line Hokie 10/07/2019 7:42PM

My plan to learn how to time travel withstanding you are correct.** -- goldendomer 10/08/2019 09:22AM

Agree, our arrangment is working really well right now. -- goldendomer 10/06/2019 8:06PM

Eliminating the "South's Oldest Rivalry" (aka UNC-UVA) -- VTHokie2000 10/05/2019 08:49AM

"South's oldest rivalry"... < Fart Noise > -- crabcake77 10/07/2019 2:07PM

I think VT and UVA want to be in the same division -- Mercury 10/05/2019 09:28AM

It made sense when basketball also used divisions because -- VTHokie2000 10/05/2019 9:50PM

That would eliminate the UVA UNC rivalry which is critical ** -- Mercury 10/04/2019 9:34PM

Eh? No its not. ** -- MaskedRacer 10/09/2019 3:23PM

Doesn't have to. Could play a non conference game. ** -- seekoHoG 10/05/2019 9:56PM

Also creates a “cozy” division & a “geographic extreme” division. ** -- EDGEMAN 10/05/2019 12:39AM
