Would you want the ACC to go to North/South divisions?
Oct 22, 2013, 7:38 PM

The South would look like this.
Miami
FSU
GA Tech
Clemson
Wake
NC ST
UNC
ND every 3 years
We have more tradition with the teams in the south than we do with BC, Cuse and UL, plus they are closer for away games. I think this would boost our recruiting in south florida as well and it would be one of the top divisions in college football. I really wouldn't care if the north was weak or not.

a smart idea. Unless Louisville can maintain or improve you are counting on VT to always be the big team on that side. I don't think that is the best idea.

With strength of schedule becoming a factor i think this would be good for FSU, UM and us. And like I said, who cares about the north maybe those teams get better. Just look at the sec, the east is awful this year.

Think of how awesome playing Miami every year would be. We've had some classic games with them. Also, FSU-Miami and Clemson-GT rivalries would have division implications, which would be good for the conference.

a North Champion that would be barely Bowl eligible every year. It's a "dumb as #####" idea.

No one wants Clemson, FSU and Miami in the same division. And it will NEVER happen.

I guess no one would want Bama, Texas AM, LSU, Auburn in the same division or USC, UGA, UT, and Florida in the same division what a crazy idea. Uhm it only results in better competition and the best conf. Crazy

Reality about 2016:
Atlantic = BC, Pitt, Syr, ND, NCSU, Lou-ville, Miami, VT. Coastal = CU, GT, FSU, NC, West Va, Dk, Wk, Va.
I suspect ND has to go conference. West Va will want to bolt the Big 12 for sure. Too much travel. This grouping gets bitter rivals in opposite brackets.

No reason WV can't leave, particularly if conference wants them to go (see Maryland). ACC will not take a directional school since it does fit the bill of either big state school or big money private. Should really be the Big Head Conference.

There's plenty reason it's called Grant of Rights. West Va isn't going to give up tv revenue for 5 years not is the ACC going to take a tam that doesnt bring tv revenue for 5 years.

Generally I agree with that but I am afraid it is here to stay. I don't see ACC taking UCF since they are a directional school or cincy, since not enough tradition. I don't like the couch burners either but I suspect it eventually happens. They have to be tired of the big 12 and Texas already and I expect few in Texas look forward to traveling to WV for games.

Why would they change the name of the divisions when

The ACC stands for ATLANTIC COAST Conference. As far as conference alignment UL will go to Atlantic and ND Coastal. ( once they see it's in their best interest.)
