I disagree because it is also about giving both divisions


equal access to fertile recruiting grounds. Since you believe key rivals should be placed in the same division, then you are basically saying that Clemson, FSU, GT, and Miami need to be placed in the same division. Whomever is placed in the opposite division will have serious objections to that idea. Also, it means that NC State and Wake will need to be placed in that division too.

If a conference is not going to go a true north-south or east-west, then a conference should give both divisions equal access to a region or state especially if there are even number of members. The ACC has that with its 14 members.

New England - BC and Syracuse
Ohio Valley - Pitt and Louisville
Virginia - VT and UVA
North Carolina - Duke, UNC, NC State, Wake
Georgia/South Carolina - Clemson and GT
Florida - FSU and Miami

It isn't difficult to divide up the 14 schools up between the divisions. Likewise, if the ACC adds 2 schools, then it can easily switch to north-south with the dividing line being the VA-NC border.
