What's this?

Since there 4 divisions and those divisions rotate every 2 years

on when they play each other, then doesn't that suggest that the 4 NC schools would be divided up among the 4 divisions to ensure equal representation? Likewise, doesn't that also suggest that Clemson/GT, FSU/Miami, VT/UVA, Syracuse/BC, Louisville/Pitt, and Team15/Team16 would also be split up to ensure equal representation? For the non-NC schools, they are already divided up into larger regional groups.

South: Clemson/GT/FSU/Miami
Mid-Atlantic: VT/UVA/L'ville/Pitt
North: BC/Syracuse/Team 15/Team 16 *placeholder purposes only

Basically each division would have 1 from each of the 3 groups and 1 NC school. In VT's case that means it has to wait 4 years before it gets to play UVA (if the game can't continue annually due to schedule conflicts) or its game against UVA counts as a conference game. Otherwise schools could end up playing everyone from a region/state in 2 years and then wait 4 years before getting to play them again. Would schools be willing to wait 4 years before getting to play the South Division again?

You play every team home away every 6 years min. More Clemson, more FSU, -- Stech 07/20/2016 8:49PM

If no ND and UT, then WVU and UCONN. Keep it simple, keep it east. -- ScottyHeel 07/20/2016 5:35PM

I would like to see what others think first. ** -- Stech 07/20/2016 1:52PM

ND and WVU would be the first to get to 16. Not happening -- hokie4ever 07/20/2016 4:43PM

Change up divisions every two seasons after home and homes. -- chuckd4vt 07/20/2016 1:10PM

It isn't confusing why FSU doesn't play at Lane too often -- VTHokie2000 07/20/2016 2:05PM

If we're playing the same 6 teams each yr, we're not playing FSU often. -- chuckd4vt 07/20/2016 2:35PM

The most likely reason is because that is the fair thing to do -- VTHokie2000 07/20/2016 5:18PM

Isn't fair at all. Miami plays FSU every year. Duke plays Wake. -- chuckd4vt 07/20/2016 6:28PM

Is the crossover game still stupid if VT and UVA ended up -- VTHokie2000 07/20/2016 2:06PM

That sort of divisional alignment would be stupid to start with, IMO. -- reestuart 07/20/2016 3:32PM

Why would it be stupid to have VT and UVA in opposite divisions? -- VTHokie2000 07/20/2016 4:12PM

The fact BC and FSU are in the same division should tell you -- reestuart 07/20/2016 4:42PM
