UNC and UVA could be each other's 8th conference game.

You would play the 3 teams in your own pod, the 4 teams from one of the other three pods, and one "rivalry" game. I could see ours being Miami and UVA's being UNC. Pretty good stuff.

So VT would play these four every season.
UVA
Pitt
WVU
Miami

From there, we would play 1 of these three pods.
ACCN:
ND
Louisville
Cuse
BC

ACCNC:
UNC
Duke
Wake
NC St.

ACCS:
FSU
Clemson
Miami
GT

Bingo Bango. This is FAR superior than what we have now. It would be a little weak those 2 years we played the NC pod, but even those years is better than most seasons under the current set up. Anyhow, THIS is what folks would donate money to get better tickets for.

If we go to 16 and stick with 8 conf games... -- Mr. Touchdown 05/15/2017 2:53PM

I don't think the ACC would switch to North-South because -- VTHokie2000 05/15/2017 4:39PM

The 4 rotating pods structure works REALLY well for 16. -- chuckd4vt 05/15/2017 4:14PM

Never liked the Pods idea. ** -- wwhokie1 05/15/2017 7:19PM

Neither did the WAC fans when it expanded to 16 members -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2017 11:05AM

If the ACC goes with the 4 pods method, then don't be surprised -- VTHokie2000 05/15/2017 4:42PM

UNC and UVA could be each other's 8th conference game. -- chuckd4vt 05/15/2017 5:42PM

I don't see what you are proposing could work -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2017 11:18AM

Here ya go. Simpl 3x4x1 structure, for 8 conference games. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2017 2:51PM

But that is my point you are mixing pods and it can't work -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2017 3:20PM

Those small quirks won't be much of an issue. You just randomly select them -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2017 3:29PM

The Big Ten has 1 quirk and the Pac-12 has 2 (the 4 CA -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2017 3:44PM

Who really gets bent out of shape over those? -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2017 3:47PM

If the ACC never had the protected cross-division game -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2017 4:11PM

Agree but -- SoCloseHokie 05/15/2017 5:49PM

Replace them w/ Navy and break out the knee braces. -- chuckd4vt 05/15/2017 5:56PM

Don't need knee braces. -- SoCloseHokie 05/15/2017 5:53PM

VT D will need them after another game against Chop Block U. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2017 12:24AM
