How would you schedule an 18 team conference?
No divisions. Nine conference games. One permanent rival. The other sixteen opponents rotate on a two-year cycle.

The only downside is that while you keep Duke-UNC, FSU-Miami, etc. as annual games, some secondary rivalries would only be limited to twice every four years. Some opponents may need to be rotated to keep teams active in certain areas for recruiting. For example, if you took Florida State's schedule:

Miami (every year)
Georgia Tech/Clemson
Duke/UNC
Wake/NC State
Virginia/Virginia Tech
Syracuse/Boston College
Pittsburgh/Louisville
Notre Dame/Team 16
Team 17/Team 18

The only thing that would be a remote possibility would be having more than 2 undefeated teams, but I suppose with deregulation there could be a solution for that (CFP rankings, number of road wins, etc.)
