I agree and I always thought the ACC should have invited WVU


instead of BC to join and stop at 12 members. If the ACC had done that, then the conference could have looked like this (including the protected cross-division game).

Atlantic-Coastal
WVU - UMD
VT - UVA
Wake - Duke
NC State - UNC
Clemson - GT
FSU - Miami or Miami - FSU

Now if the ACC was willing to not use the protected cross-division, then the ACC could go with 3 rotating cross-division games. One possible divisional alignment would be a North-South option.

North
WVU
UMD
UVA
VT
Wake
Duke

South
UNC
NC State
Clemson
GT
FSU
Miami

I realize there are some issues with this alignment, but it may be the best for scheduling purposes because 6 teams can be cleanly divided into 2 groups of 3.

North Teams
1 cross-division game against a NC school
1 cross-division game against a GA or SC school
1 cross-division game against a FL school

South Teams
1 cross-division game against a MD or WV school
1 cross-division game against a VA school
1 cross-division game against a NC school

The rotation would occur every 2 years and teams would complete the rotation in 4 years.
