RE: Yet another north-south division idea
(08-18-2014 09:10 PM)Chris02M Wrote: my personal 3 game permanent rival solution which I think are fair.
FLORIDA STATE- Miami, Georgia Tech, Clemson
This give FSU what it wants - It's three closest southern teams and not Duke, Wake, BC, and Syracuse.
CLEMSON- Georgia Tech, NC State, Florida State
Clemson keeps what it has regarding access to NC, Florida, and Georgia and their three closest public schools. Saves Textile Bowl, although some don't care about it.
LOUISVILLE- Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Virginia
Louisville is low man on totem pole, but the 5/5 makes it okay.
SYRACUSE- Louisville, Boston College, Miami
Gives Syracuse the game in Miami they want and keeps BC.
BOSTON COLLEGE- Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Wake Forest
Gives them their two closest and closest school in size.
NC STATE- Wake Forest, Clemson, North Carolina
State has to have Clemson and UNC, and Wake has to have NC State.
WAKE FOREST- NC State, Duke, Boston College
Two of WF's must haves, except UNC, but BC is comparable in size.
MIAMI- Florida State, Virginia Tech, Syracuse
Keeps FSU must have, makes Syracuse happy and creates a good mid-conference rivalry with VT.
VIRGINIA TECH- Virginia, Miami, Pittsburgh
Not possible without the 5/5 that will out VT in NC every year
VIRGINIA- Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Louisville
Gives UVA it's two must haves.
GEORGIA TECH- Clemson, Florida State, Duke
Gives GT it's two must haves and keeps Duke instead of UNC - fair trade.
PITTSBURGH- Boston College, Louisville, Virginia Tech
Low on totem pole, but get VT.
NORTH CAROLINA- Duke, Virginia, NC State
Gives UNC the three games they must have.
DUKE- North Carolina, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech
Gives Duke it's must have, and keeps GT and WF rivalry.
The big winners - those getting the three games they want:
FSU, UNC, Duke, GT
The winners - those getting at least two games they want:
Clemson, NC State, WF, UVa, VT
The breakevens - those getting one game they want, and can live with one of the other two:
Syracuse, Miami, BC, Pitt
Odd man out:
Louisville - I would think Louisville would want Miami every year and perhaps VT instead of UVa.
But hey, I could be all wrong.
Regarding Pitt, as of right now, the ACC owes Pitt and VT a favor for trading out regarding Notre Dame and Purdue games. They will be compensated somehow. The ACC owed NC State regarding an old series with ND that the league office did not complete about a decade ago, and that has been called in.
The above 3-5/5 can work but for it to happen a Coastal team has to agree to it. Miami and GT already have to play FSU each year - so those are the votes to look at in my opinion. The wildcard is Notre Dame. I think they have a vote although there is no past protocol regarding voting on an issue where you don't have a team as far as I know.
Does FSU vote on Men's Soccer? Does NC State vote on Lacrosse matters? Who knows?

) to join the ACC. Aren't you aware that because of the ACC snatching them away from the Big East kicking, screaming, scratching and fighting that they no longer play West Virginia and Penn State? Then the ACC bullied Notre Dame into not playing them every year. It's unfair I tell ya. Unfair. The mean, nasty ACC just bullied Pitt and forced them to unwillingly join the conference.
