which of these 2 divisional setups would you prefer if forced to choose?

A:

NORTH------------------------------------SOUTH
miami--------------------------------------florida state
virginia tech-----------------------------virginia
pittsburgh-------------------------------maryland
boston college-------------------------clemson
syracuse----------------------------------georgia tech
wake forest------------------------------nc state
duke----------------------------------------north carolina

B:
NORTH-----------------------------------SOUTH
miami-------------------------------------florida state
virginia tech----------------------------georgia tech
pittsburgh-------------------------------clemson
virginia----------------------------------- maryland
duke--------------------------------wake forest
north carolina-------------------------nc state
syracuse---------------------------------boston college

B, I want to keep GT on the schedule.

A would never happen. You can't put all the private schools in one division.

I don't like either.

IMO it would be better to swap Duke & Maryland so that there are 2 NC schools in each division.
(by the way, you have Wake twice and no NC State in "B"). Ultimately, neither of these options meets all requirements.

A better poll would be swapping Maryland/GT or BC/GT...which neither really matter to me.

I still maintain it is a non issue.

I'd prefer "B" although I don't care for either. Wish we could play N.C. State every year.

To Va Tech it certainly is.

FSU should be figuring out how to win the division they are in, not ways to make it more difficult.

I don't think FSU is worried about their division being more or less difficult. It wouldn't be extremely more challenging if Georgia Tech replaced a Maryland or BC. We are fans talking about this. I don't play for FSU so I don't see how me talking about it relates to the team.

Like I said though, I can see why Va Tech fans can call it whining when they have everything they want in their division already.

Hopefully for you guys FSU doesn't win it though. Because as much as you like to dwell on FSU's recent down cycle, we know what happens when they meet Va Tech in a championship game.

Quote:we all know what happens when...

too easy. couldn't resist.

And you also lost to a 5 loss FSU team in the ACC Title game in 2005. The most important was the real title game though....

Oh no! I see another NC State to the SEC rumor coming.

As a Pitt fan I would like to see us play Maryland every year. It is natural rivalry, only 3.5 hours away.

It's the minor league version of Steelers / Ravens!
