What's this?

If there are no cross-division games and a pod is paired with

the other 3, then the following games would no longer be annual conference games:

UVA vs. UNC (aka South's Oldest Rivalry)
Clemson vs. NC State (aka the Textile Bowl)
Miami vs. VT
FSU vs. Miami

Do you think the ACC would be willing to up any (all) of those 4 games? What about the participating schools (including their fans)?

Absolutely it about rivalries -- dayooper 05/23/2018 09:12AM

Bill Moos is a questionable AD choice..... -- 2hhoop3 05/23/2018 08:57AM

While the SEC in football & the ACC in basketball are about the rivalries!! -- Stech 05/23/2018 07:29AM

I think networks rely on data analysis only -- Mercury 05/23/2018 10:47AM

If they were looking at just numbers they know SEC Ftbl & ACC Bbl have #'s. -- Stech 05/23/2018 12:23PM

The ACC has some good football rivalries -- HOO86 05/23/2018 10:31AM

ACC would have more if they let Clemson and FSU play VT more often. -- Atlee Hokie 06/04/2018 05:29AM

False Alarm? -- TerryD 05/22/2018 12:06PM

Yeah, not 8 games..media was wrong...something is changing though ** -- nebraskafaninwi 05/22/2018 12:38PM

Louisville has more history with those N.E. teams. So does VT of course... ** -- SoCloseHokie 05/22/2018 2:20PM

Yeah but if I'm going to dream -- Vippie1 05/23/2018 10:53AM

Here's a conference oddity, Loserville has never played GT in football. -- reestuart 05/22/2018 6:58PM

Hope they live up to their name and lose. I'm old enough to hate them. ** -- Alicks 05/23/2018 8:14PM

There's so much to hate about them. They are an embarrassment, and the ACC -- reestuart 05/24/2018 1:28PM

True, but us older folks who grew up with an independent/Metro Conference -- seekoHoG 05/24/2018 5:14PM

I remember that quite well. ** -- reestuart 05/24/2018 3:31PM

Do conferences thinking of expanding reduce conference games from 9 to 8? ** -- TerryD 05/22/2018 11:13AM

Not if they want people watching their network. ** -- reestuart 05/22/2018 3:28PM

Yes, I can think of 1 scenario where a conference may decide to reduce -- VTHokie2000 05/22/2018 1:52PM

Lol, no "bedwetting" here, just no interest** -- TerryD 05/23/2018 07:39AM

Oh yea -- SoCloseHokie 05/23/2018 08:29AM

Yes, although if the ACC decides to expand to 16 or 20 members -- VTHokie2000 05/22/2018 2:59PM

I'm sorry, but a 20 member conference is not a conference. -- Atlee Hokie 06/04/2018 05:21AM

Or the ECAC. It is possible the super conference could be a means -- VTHokie2000 06/04/2018 12:36PM

To do North - South, Miami has to be in the North. -- HOO86 05/22/2018 5:26PM

These PODS would work -- HOO86 05/22/2018 7:10PM

Great post! That is how to set up a rotation! -- Alicks 05/23/2018 8:11PM

Don't be surprised if the SEC opts for the 2 permanent divisions -- VTHokie2000 05/25/2018 11:12AM

If there are no cross-division games and a pod is paired with -- VTHokie2000 05/23/2018 1:06PM

There have to be cross division games. -- HOO86 05/23/2018 2:10PM

I am not sure a majority of members would support it -- VTHokie2000 05/23/2018 3:24PM

Uva would not except the one scenario. ** -- SoCloseHokie 05/22/2018 3:06PM

Yes, I know which is why it is for example purposes only -- VTHokie2000 05/22/2018 3:41PM

Good, this will make scheduling easier for us in the future. Pac needs to -- goldendomer 05/22/2018 07:52AM

Yep, would be big news for ND for scheduling ** -- nebraskafaninwi 05/22/2018 08:05AM

Interesting...... -- SoCloseHokie 05/22/2018 08:03AM

Not many would turn down a game with ND. ** -- goldendomer 05/22/2018 08:10AM

Agreed -- OU_Sooner 05/22/2018 09:08AM

I was somewhat picking. ** -- SoCloseHokie 05/22/2018 08:16AM

Only one cross-over game/year? -- EDGEMAN 05/22/2018 07:18AM

More P5 out of conference like ND, Okie State ** -- nebraskafaninwi 05/22/2018 08:04AM
