Scheduling with 4 Pods and 16 makes it so Pods can be geographical and

everybody plays each other way more. Two Pods do a home and away series and then they rotate. You play your three geographical rivals every year and the other teams twice in 6 years, plus maybe again in the ACC Championship. It's much better for frequency than what we have now and ND will still play a National Schedule which is really what they need more than anything scheduling wise. They are really not independent right now with 5 ACC games. This adds two more games and leaves them 5 for the National Scene.

Make believe world: If ACC were forced to join ACC.. go pod system? -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 09:01AM

I think this works the best. -- HOO86 07/13/2020 3:23PM

It is probably the best compromise given the reality of the situation -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 9:17PM

UVA will be in the same Quad as VT, UVA could also schedule UNC OOC every -- Stech 07/14/2020 07:50AM

I would not assume that UVA would be placed in the same quad -- VTHokie2000 07/14/2020 10:38AM

I didn't say UVA would be in the same Quad as VT & UNC, in fact I don't -- Stech 07/14/2020 11:49AM

The WAC and ACC wouldn't be in different situations when it comes -- VTHokie2000 07/14/2020 12:03PM

If they went to 16 teams -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 11:19AM

No way we want U Conn -- HokieinClemson 07/13/2020 1:22PM

Yeah. Couldn't find another that fit. Just wanted to illustrate it ** -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 1:26PM

The #16 slot is solely reserved for ND -- EDGEMAN 07/13/2020 12:15PM

Since the ACC is already at 15 with Notre Dame for all other sports -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 12:31PM

Navy seems to me to be the logical choice. That game is always on ND's -- seekoHoG 07/13/2020 4:06PM

Navy as a football-only member or full member? -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 5:13PM

I honestly do not think ND will ever become a member of the ACC football -- seekoHoG 07/13/2020 7:08PM

Navy as a football-only member makes and I agree with your assessment -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 8:55PM

It's their choice...as long as it's not UCONN...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 07/13/2020 3:03PM

Hello USC or Hawai'i ;-) ** -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 3:23PM

This could be the rivals... -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 10:24AM

Got to be 16 teams, IMHO. ** -- MrFantastic! 07/13/2020 10:16AM

That's makes it fun ** -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 10:23AM

You could also lock in a rival opponent from each POD and it still works ** -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 09:12AM

FWIW the WAC already tried the rotating pod system -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 12:25PM
