It’s been a while, but another division realignment thread - ren.hoek - 01-21-2018 08:51 AM I believe divisions should protect and encourage rivalries, most of which are regional and/or historical. With that in mind, what if the ACC had Atlantic and East divisions containing the old ACC and old Big East, respectively? East: BC, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Louisville, VT, Miami, WF Atlantic: UNC, NCSU, Duke, UVa, Clemson, GT, FSU WF is in the East because there isn’t a 7th former Big East team and they would be taking one for the team by doing this. The only permanent cross division rivalries that would be preserved would be FSU-Miami and UVa-VT. WF might want Duke too. The B1G has a similar setup in which Purdue-Indiana is the only permanent cross division rivalry. I’d guess VT wouldn’t like this setup, but why not discuss anyway?

With that in mind, what if the ACC had Atlantic and East divisions containing the old ACC and old Big East, respectively? I would love such a setup. I was excited about being able to play Miami and VT again when it was first announced that SU was coming to the ACC. I would rather SU played those teams more regularly than we do. This setup would certainly accomplish that.

With that in mind, what if the ACC had Atlantic and East divisions containing the old ACC and old Big East, respectively? I was thinking the same thing. But the fact remains that this has always been a possibility, and it has never flown before. What's different now?

With that in mind, what if the ACC had Atlantic and East divisions containing the old ACC and old Big East, respectively? It will be hard to break the UNC vs UVA game even though I think the tradition argument. However the simplest solution, move Louisville to Atlantic and UVA to coastal. UNC vs UVA annual rival is gone but they could choose to schedule OOC if they want to keep it so bad. Clemson vs GT would be gone as well but it provides a much more balance of the typically who the power schools that play each other. FSU - Miami NCSU - UNC Wake - Duke UVA - VT Clemson - Louisville BC - GT SYC - Pitt I would not mind switching BC and GT because historically they fit better in the other divisions, but because Wake and GT seem committed to the Triple option, not sure the ACC would want both in the same Div.

With that in mind, what if the ACC had Atlantic and East divisions containing the old ACC and old Big East, respectively? Wake Forest has more players from Florida, with the exception of Florida State or Miami, than anyone else in the conference. If you try to separate them from their recruiting grounds, they will start making phone calls for help, and they know where all of the skeletons are buried. RE: It’s been a while, but another division realignment thread - CardinalJim - 01-21-2018 02:22 PM I like this too. I believe this needs to happen time to time in every conference, maybe every 8 - 12 years.

Also, if this came along with a 9 game schedule, you could come up with a schedule where Wake would play all 3 NC schools if they would agree to being in the mostly private school division. (9 games for the ACC probably only happens if the SEC does it too).

I like that our leaders have scheduled Wake out of conference. RE: It’s been a while, but another division realignment thread - jaminandjachin - 01-21-2018 03:12 PM I don't think we need to realign the divisions. Increasing the playing frequency is achieved by scheduling conference teams as non-conference opponents (see UNC-Wake). This doesn't work for most teams in the conference, but let's say if FSU or Clemson want to play VT more often than once every 6 years they can.

RE: It’s been a while, but another division realignment thread - Wolfman - 01-21-2018 08:37 PM The problem with all these scenarios is trying to balance the power. If you balance it for one sport another is out of balance. I'm all for protecting rivalries but creating an oBE division is like having 2 conferences. Why bother.

VT, GT, and Wake would be the top three. |
