Louisville-NC St., GT-BC, Clemson-UNC aren't great rivalries. The two are a little unbalanced. Based on all-time win/loss rankings in football the East avg. is 49.9, the West is 41.4.
My counter:
Atlantic: Florida St., Clemson, BC, Louisville, UVA, UNC, Duke
Avg. football ranking 47.4
Coastal: Miami, GT, Syracuse, Pitt, VT, NC St., WF
Avg. football ranking 43.9
What are your cross overs?

It shows up fine on my end... problem's on your end.

I just wish we would STOP with the zone blocking read option crap and line up in the I, put a hat on a hat and run the tailback behind the fullback through a designated gosh-danged hole. There is NO REASON why this program shouldn't be able to find 5 fat guys who can move some people out of the way and clear a lane for a back to get through!
Crossovers:
Florida St.-Miami, Clemson-GT, BC-Syracuse, Louisville-Pitt, UVA-VT, UNC-NC St., Duke-WF
Well all the other post look fine to me, but again your post is garbled.

I would LOVE this for VT. But I think it unwise on the large scale to have the three best football programs (FSU, Clemson, and VT respectively) in the same division.
Here's mine copy/paste from an email I sent to a Hoo friend a while back about this topic:
A Division
Clemson
Miami
Wake
NC State
Louisville
BC
Virginia Tech
B Division
Georgia Tech
Virginia
UNC
Duke
Pitt
Syracuse
FSU
Games that need protected in crossovers: UVa-VT, Miami-FSU, Syracuse-BC, UNC-NCSt, Duke-Wake, GT-Clemson...so that makes Pitt-Louisville a permanent rival if you will. BTW, I would play all crossovers early in the season in case there is a rematch in the ACCCG, the said teams won’t be playing each other on back to back weekends.
If we want to also allow UNC-Wake and Duke-NCSt each year, then we go to 9 games.
This plan allows for many of the rivalries to be preserved, and also allows for a division opponent to be in every sub-region (Northeast, Virginia, Ohio River Valley, North Carolina, Cotton Belt, Florida). This is good for recruiting, exposure and maintaining continuity in an expanded footprint.
It also relatively balances out the urban schools. I specifically put Pitt and Miami in separate divisions since I consider it an abomination have to play two teams regularly that play in NFL stadiums.
Two more alternatives to current division:
1. Switch Clemson and Miami. Or...
2. Old ACC (w/FSU) vs. New ACC (2003-present additions)
of North South like both the SEC and now the B1G have gone to in their conferences.
East
UVa, Duke, Miami, UNC, BC, Syracuse, NCSU
West
VT, Wake, FSU, Clemson, GT, Pitt, Louisville
The Cross Overs are under each other, but just in case they don't line up in the post.
Cross Overs
UVa versus VT, Duke versus Wake, Miami versus FSU, Clemson versus UNC, GT versus BC (direct and inexpensive flight for both), Syracuse versus Pitt and NCSU versus Louisville.
Okay go ahead and criticize, but you have to come up with something better and be able to take criticism back.

I see the same problem
If we must be in the ACC, I much prefer this to our current dull schedule. You would think our TV partner would want to have VT, Clemson and FSU play annually.of North South like both the SEC and now the B1G have gone to in their conferences.
East
UVa, Duke, Miami, UNC, BC, Syracuse, NCSU
West
VT, Wake, FSU, Clemson, GT, Pitt, Louisville
