NC State is probably another that needs 3 (UNC, Wake, Clemson)
I do think you could see Duke, UVA, and Wake make a claim that they need 3 too.
Duke: UNC, Wake, UVA
UVA: UNC, VT, Duke
Wake: 3 other NC schools
If the 4 NC schools ban together, then you might even see them claim they need 4 so they could play each other plus Duke (UVA), UNC (UVA), and NC State (Clemson) can still play a non-NC rival. Now I don't think there is a Duke-UVA rivlary, but I have seen reports where both schools claim to have one. If the schools say its a rivalry, then who am I to say differently.
Personally, I think having 3 protected games would be a fair compromise. Then again, we are talking about the ACC, so I am not confident that the ACC won't find a way to screw this plan up too.
