UNC- Duke, NCSU, UVA
Duke- UNC, Wake, GT
NCSU- UNC, Wake, Clemson
UVA- UNC, VT, Louis
Wake- Duke, NCSU, VT
GT- Duke, Clemson, FSU
Clemson- NCSU, GT, FSU
VT- UVA, Wake, BC
FSU- Miami, Clemson, GT
Miami- FSU, BC, Pitt
BC- Syracuse, Miami, VT
Syracuse- BC, Pitt, Louis
Pitt- Syracuse, Louis, Miami
Louis- Pitt, Syracuse, UVA

Match-ups I wanted to make happen:
UNC-Wake, Duke-NCSU, Clemson-Wake*, GT-Wake, VT-NCSU*, VT-Clemson

I had Miami-VT, but replaced it with Miami-Pitt for rivalry week reasons. Unless Pitt works something out with WVU (I don't see PSU happening) Miami will continue to be their opponent Thanksgiving weekend.

On the bright side for teams that don't have a yearly FLA opponent: the cycle still allows an away game in the Sunshine State every other year like it is now, with more variety. Games like UNC-FSU (one of your humble author's personal favorites), Miami-Syracuse, VT-FSU, Louisville-Miami will happen much more often.



*VT can easily be switched to play NCSU and Clemson with Wake if that's so desired by those parties.

While GT is somewhat a rival or Duke, I would suggest that UVA is more so. Do this:
Duke - UNC, UVA, Wake
UNC - Duke, UVA, NC State
UVA - Duke, UNC, Va Tech

Here's the entire ACC w/ 3 rivals per team:

TEAM Rival #1 #2 #3
Boston College: Syracuse Wake Fst Miami
Clemson: Ga Tech Florida St NC State
Duke: Virginia UNC Wake Fst
Florida St: Miami Clemson Ga Tech
Ga Tech: Florida St Miami Clemson
Louisville: Pittsburgh Va Tech Syracuse
Miami: Florida St Ga Tech Boston Col
N Carolina: Virginia Duke NC State
NC State: UNC Wake Fst Clemson
Pittsburgh: Syracuse Va Tech Louisville
Syracuse: Boston Col Pittsburgh Louisville
Va Tech: Virginia Pittsburgh Louisville
Virginia: Va Tech UNC Duke
Wake Forest: Duke NC State Boston Col

This would save a TON of money on travel, and it would improve attendance because fans could actually afford to travel to away games.

No love for VT-Wake Forest? Isn't that your closest away game?
