North South..... That is the only way to go...... The ACC just needs to bite the bullet and move to this format.

play 3 from other div each year you don't play ND and 2 plus ND in the years you do play ND.
Make your own div record the only thing that matters for reaching the title game so the potential for uneven games played don't impact any standings.
You have a total of 9 games INCLUDING years you play ND.

and make the ACC the 2nd most powerful conference in NCAA football.
North:
Notre Dame
Miami
L-ville
BC
Syracuse
Pitt
Navy (6 football games only)
South:
FSU
GT
CU
Wake
Duke
UNC
NCST
VT
UVA
The team with the best divisional record goes to ACC-CG.
Everyone plays 8 or 9 conference games except Notre Dame and Navy who only play 6 conference games each.

They are a season away from from struggling every year for the 4th position in the east. It's just not sustainable for them to compete against Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.

Agreed. The ACC needs some serious traction as a football

league, and I'd rather see us taking on the best the conference has every year.
If Louisville was on board now, it's be great to see divisions look like this:
Clemson
Va. Tech
FSU
Louisville
Ga. Tech
Pitt
Miami
Then,
NC State
UNC
Syracuse
Wake
BC
UVA
Duke
6 in-division, 2 out, with division records deciding division champions.
These divisions represent the 7 best conference records over the past 3 years and the 7 worst conference records.
Every two years swap out the worst team from the top division with the best from the other.
The conference title game has been a dud since its inception. This gives every team a shot at the championship every year without watering down the schedules of the better programs along the way.

You just split the best and the worst and put them in two different divisions? Worst. Idea. Ever.

Most logical way to do it
May 6, 2013, 1:36 AM
|

ACC North:
Va Tech
UVA
BC
Louisville
Syracuse
Pitt
Wake
ACC South:
FSU
Miami
GT
Clemson
UNC
Duke
NC State
North and south is the only thing that makes sense for traveling purposes. These divisions protect all of the old ACC rivalries except for wake. But anyway you draw up the divisions one NC school gets screwed and I figure it has to be wake because they're the most irrevelant in football and have the smallest crowd turn out anyways.

Having Syracuse and BC in our Division should help in
May 6, 2013, 8:22 AM

Recruiting.
The weather and girls makes Clemson an easy "sell" to football players from New England.
It is good to play in FL, GA, and NC every year. But it is also good to play in New England every year.
I know you may not care much about playing Syracuse, BC, and L-ville...but is playing UNC and Duke really that much of a step up from Syracuse, BC, and L-ville?

I agree.
I'd rather watch Clemson v. 'Cuse, or Clemson v. Louisville over Clemson v. Duke/UNC.
