It would be SCar. The reason they are pushing for this is to give Cuse a strong opponent without adding a conference game. I personally think the ACC/SEC could make a killing promoting a challenge weekend at the end of the season.

Why 4 teams from each conference already play the last week of the season. The ACC already promoted that week as rivalry week and moved VT vs UVA to the last week.

Exactly, some ACC teams play their rivals that week.
Feb 7, 2014, 7:46 PM
|
|
That week is rivalry week, teams with non-SEC rivals would want their SEC games at some other point of the season, probably early in the first few weeks.

It's not a bad idea until you stop to realize that us-sc and 3 other existing games wouldn't move from the last weekend. And neither would Bama-barn or ole miss-msu.

We still want 7 home games. With 9 games against FBS AQ level opponents at best you'll get 5 at home. We'll need the two lower tier cupcakes to make our 7 home game quota.

This would increase the SOS of all ACC schools that are determined to make the four team playoff,sounds reasonable. Gives the ACC a chance to make it happen, what is the issue?

Looks like last season was the last one and they're not playing each other this year.
Look at Vandy's schedule though. It's the epitome of SEC scheduling. A cupcake before every tough game. Well, except the end of the season where they end with two cupcakes in a row. I'm glad that the ACC has finally caught on and set up a favorable schedule for us this year.

If Money and Home games are the big issues...
Feb 8, 2014, 8:02 AM
|

Did we use to be able to "buy out" some of the smaller schools and have them come to the valley when we were supposed to go there?
Wake, BC, Duke are three that could probably make more money coming to Clemson each year. Could they alternate, one year Wake comes to Clemson instead of playing at Wake; BC comes to FSU instead of playing at BC, etc.
Probably couldn't work on a perm basis, but could some type of schedule be made up with these smaller school play 2 of 3 against the bigger school away?

Do I see it happening...
Feb 8, 2014, 1:46 PM

No. The SEC won't agree to it since it would involve having to play away games w/ ACC schools. Plus, it means one less chance to schedule the FCS teams for guaranteed wins since they play such a 'tough in-conference schedule' according to eSECpn.
For the ACC in general, it would be beneficial...would lock out the four w/ in-state rivalries w/ SEC schools from scheduling any other games with SEC teams (i.e. - no more Clemson-Georgia or Clemson-Auburn).
Think we'll see the 9 game ACC schedule before the '8+1' with the SEC on the schedules

Perhaps these could be the matchups....

Clemson-Scar FSU- Florida GT-UGA Louisville-Kentucky Wake-Vandy Miami-LSU Va. Tech-Tennessee Syracuse- Miss. State BC-Arkansas UNC-Alabama UVA-Missouri N.C. State-Texas A&M Duke-Ole Miss Pittsburgh-Auburn
I have no idea which ones of those make sense, but you have to start somewhere. If these matchups do not include the traditional rivalries, then it could be this: Clemson-UGA FSU-Bama Miami-Florida GT-Auburn Louisville-Ole Miss Duke-Vandy Va. Tech-Tennessee N.C. State-SCAR UNC-Kentucky Pitt-LSU BC-Miss. State Syracuse- Texas A&M Wake-Arkansas UVA- Missouri
