Interesting about Wake-Clemson. I wasn't aware of that. But, I somewhat

agree about Old ACC vs. New ACC. But I would do it pre-FSU expansion. NC schools, GT, Clemson, UVa in the Old. With FSU in the New.

The only games that would be crossover rivals are VT-UVa, FSU-Clemson. GT-VT would be gone though

In such a scenario, while I think it would be better for the ACC, VT would be the big loser (loss of all Carolina schools and GT)--although picking up FSU every year might be a nice consolation.

A big question relating to this topic is should all the Carolina schools play one another every year? UNC-NCState, UNC-Duke should absolutely be protected. I'm not 100% certain of the rest. Especially when you also take into account that NCState-Clemson, and UNC-UVa still must be played as well.

I agree except for the Wake and Duke games... -- lawhokie 06/27/2016 2:11PM

For VT's "nice to have rivalries, would take GT off and add CU & FSU -- EDGEMAN 06/27/2016 12:47PM

IMO, Clemson needs to play the following every year -- ren_hoek 06/27/2016 07:19AM

Clemson has played WF 81 times, GT 81 times, and NCSU 84 times -- ren_hoek 06/27/2016 10:42AM

I'd rather get to the 4 pods of 4 before doing this with 14 teams. -- HOO86 06/27/2016 11:53AM

I'm not holding my breath for ND to join before we fix our... -- Maroon Baboon 06/27/2016 1:38PM

I think you get a similar result going North-South... -- Hokie CPA 06/27/2016 10:12AM

I agree with Hoo86. Don't want it to be a "insiders" vs "outsiders" -- EDGEMAN 06/27/2016 12:50PM

I don't fully support the "old guard" argument. -- Maroon Baboon 06/27/2016 1:53PM

List of Rivalries - as you asked -- mjfhokie 06/26/2016 10:29PM

I can't believe it took me this many posts, working from the bottom up, -- GusDaMan 06/27/2016 12:09PM

This is mostly correct, except for Georgia Tech -- HOO86 06/27/2016 10:55AM

According to my count, that's 20 games. -- Maroon Baboon 06/27/2016 12:29AM

I'll take a stab... -- Calamitous 06/26/2016 10:22PM

Most of all Virginia and Miami ** -- BigCrumpy 06/26/2016 3:56PM

My question was for the entire ACC, not just VT.** -- Maroon Baboon 06/26/2016 4:11PM

Sorry but my priorities are VT we've already told the ACC -- BigCrumpy 06/27/2016 11:28AM

Not terribly difficult without fixed divisions -- Colonel Jessup 06/26/2016 11:28AM

Fixed Divisions are OK if you are willing to rotate them -- BigCrumpy 06/27/2016 11:30AM

Something like this -- Old Line Hokie 06/25/2016 7:25PM

Well, that didn't adress the stated question at all lol ** -- GusDaMan 06/27/2016 12:05PM

It addressed the rivalries that need to be -- Old Line Hokie 06/27/2016 1:42PM
