ACC Realignment


Jan 3, 2013, 12:13 AM

Go with the hypothetical....assuming that the ACC finally inks Notre Dame as a permanent member, what school rounds out the 16?

WVU, Rutgers, UCONN, an SEC school?

I would say we have to many florida schools, but USF could grow in the acc, too many NC schools but APP state could use a step up (remember they beat michigan!!!) and know what the lower championship is about ... However realistically ... wait for it wait for it... Louisiana school or ..... Hornfrogs :) steal em from the big 12 or .. SMU they use to be great, ... they learned their lesson, we need a school in texas

Jan 3, 2013, 2:40 AM

ND will have to join a conference at some time in the future. Once the 16 team superconferences and playoffs start, any team without access to a championship will always have one game less than the others and be locked out of the NC picture.

adding 1 extra win in the formula for nd, when determining who gets in the play-offs, since they are not in a conf. and can't (through no fault of their own) play in a conf. champ. game.

I don't see that being the case

Realistically: Navy, Cincy or UConn.


Jan 3, 2013, 8:39 AM

Hard to imagine any SEC leaving, unless Vandy decides that they just don't want to be associated with it anymore.

WVU, I believe, is a ship that has sailed.

Rutgers also is gone.

Penn State would be a dream but if they were unhappy at all in the Big 10, I would imagine adding some Northeastern schools (Maryland and Rutgers) helped that.

I like Navy because it reclaims the DC area and gives ND another in-conference rival. It's also a national program, a major prestige school and it has the biggest game in the country (and only game on TV) at the end of each year. Also, if we realigned by North/South regions, they could be reasonably competitive in a conference with BC, Syracuse, Pitt, ND, Louisville, VT and UVA (or Duke or Miami).

Re: Realistically: Navy, Cincy or UConn.


Jan 3, 2013, 8:45 AM

UConn would replace BC if they left. Cinci would replace UL if they bolted. Otherwise I think Navy as a football only would balance out ND as a full member. Overall, we're fine with no need to expand. See here for realigning the divisions:
