Not necessary what I would do, but what I predict:

Boston College......Syracuse, Virginia, Wake Forest,
Clemson...............Florida State, Georgia Tech, NC State
Duke....................Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Wake Forest
Florida State.........Clemson, Georgia Tech, Miami
Georgia Tech.........Clemson, Duke, Florida State
Louisville..............Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia Tech
Miami..................Florida State, Pitt, Virginia Tech
NC State..............Clemson, North Carolina, Wake Forest
North Carolina......Duke, NC State, Virginia
Pitt......................Louisville, Miami, Syracuse
Syracuse..............Boston College, Louisville, Pitt
Virginia................Boston College, North Carolina, Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech.........Louisville, Miami, Virginia
Wake Forest..........Boston College, Duke, NC State


Color indicates Rivalry Week opponent. I could see a rotation of Miami with BC and Syracuse as well, schedule permitting.

Virginia isn’t going to get stuck as the only pre-1990 ACC member saddled with two former Big East schools annually. They have to play VPI and Carolina; the third permanent opponent would ideally be GT for recruiting and the long-standing rivalry, but given the FSU leadership’s comments I think it could end up being the Noles. Return the Jefferson-Eppes Trophy game to an annual affair.

Boston College......Syracuse, Pitt, Wake Forest,
Clemson...............Florida State, Georgia Tech, NC State
Duke....................Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Wake Forest
Florida State.........Clemson, Virginia, Miami
Georgia Tech.........Clemson, Duke, Miami
Louisville..............Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia Tech
Miami..................Florida State, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech
NC State..............Clemson, North Carolina, Wake Forest
North Carolina......Duke, NC State, Virginia
Pitt......................Louisville, Boston College, Syracuse
Syracuse..............Boston College, Louisville, Pitt
Virginia................Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech.........Louisville, Miami, Virginia
Wake Forest..........Boston College, Duke, NC State

I would hardly call Virginia Tech a Big East school. Virginia played them regardless of their conference affiliation.

Pitt and Miami will happen because both need a Rivalry Week opponent.
