RE: 2019 mock acc schedule
Generally, the Conference builds the schedule for television purposes based on who they think will finish 1-2-3. Yes that's ******. Anyway I would expect the following:
Clemson (they come first and set all others)
1 at GT
2 TAMU
3 at Syracuse (Maximizes a post-Dungy SU)
4 Charlotte
5 at UNC (Maximizes a UNC-Ch that might stink or be toast by week 6-7
6 BC
7 Open
8 at Louisville
9 NC State
10 Wofford
11 FSU
12 WF
13 Open
14 at South Carolina
Then it's a toss up in the Atlantic between setting the schedule for FSU and NCSU so let's post them together"
NC State ------------------ FSU
1 ECU ------ Boise State
2 WCU ------ULM
3 at West Va. ---- Open
4 Ball State ----- Louisiville
5 at GT -------- at UVa
6 Open ------- Miami
7 Syracuse ---- at BC
8 at BC ------- Open
9 at Clemson ---- Syracuse
10 Open ------- at WF
11 Louisville ------ at Clemson
12 at FSU -------- NCSU
13 at WF -------- Alabama State
14 UNC-CH ------ at Florida
The goal is to create two high profile Atlantic Games a week and match it with the Coastal to derive 3-4 total -
1. CU at GT, Boise/FSU (ECU and NCSU for fanatics), Coastal
2. TAMU at Clemson, USF at GT, Coastal
3. Clemson at Syracuse, UNC at WF, Coastal
4. Louisville at FSU, UCF at Pitt, Coastal
5. CU at UNC, NCSU at GT, FSU at UVa
6. BC at CU, Miami at FSU, Coastal
7. FSU at BC, Syracuse at NCSU, Coastal
8. Clemson at Louisville, NCSU at BC, Coastal
9. NCSU at Clemson, Syracuse at FSU, Coastal
10. FSU at WF, Coastal, Coastal
11. FSU at CU, Louisville at NCSU, ND at Duke
12. WF at CU, NCSU at FSU, Coastal
13. Miami at Pitt, Coastal, Coastal
14. UNC at NCSU, UGa at GT, UVa at VT
In the last 6-8 years the Atlantic title is decided by week 11 or rather to say with at least two or three play weeks left in the season. The Coastal in that period has stayed competitive longer. That's why the Coastal is sort of back loaded. The Office will prioritize Miami, and VT, putting GT, Pitt, and UNC sort of on a secondary footing and Duke and UVa will suck hind teet.
A gambler might bet on the Atlantic schedule, but it takes a swami to guess the Coastal.
