Let's Talk About Conference Schedules
I found 12 sites (I stopped at 12) that ranked the teams in the ACC by division (or all 14 teams were ranked whereby you could break out the divisions. The consensus in the Coastal and their cross-division games:
1) UVa (tie) FSU L-ville
1) Miami (tie) FSU L-ville
3) VT BC WF
4) Pitt BC Syr
5) Duke (tie) Syr WF
5) UNC (tie) Clem NCSt
7) GT Clem NCSt
Consensus in the Atlantic:
1) Clem
2) FSU (tie)
2) Syr (tie)
4) NCSt
5) WF (tie)
5) BC (tie)
7) L-ville
Doing the math, we have the easiest cross-division schedule in the Coastal with 11 points (5.5 for WF and 5.5 for BC; the higher the points, the easier the schedule). UVa and Miami each have 9 points, note they both play FSU and Louisville. Pitt and Duke each have 8 points and both play Syracuse. The two teams picked for the bottom have the toughest schedules, UNC and GT, have the toughest schedules as both play Clemson and NC State (5 points total).
In the Atlantic, Clemson and NC State check in with 12.5 points, followed by the Cuse at 9.5, Wake at 8.5, BC at 7 and FSU and Louisville with 3 (they both play the top 2 rated teams in the Coastal). The Atlantic team we want to be good, FSU. The second team, Syracuse. I wouldn't be surprised if our schedule could be the difference in winning the division.
