I wish that the ACC divisions would be abolished.

It's stupid to have a conference record of 5-3 and face a 8-0 conference in the championship.

Um. You do that by having teams that matter. VT, Miami, GT, BC - teams need to step up and be relevant again.

Doesn't the big ten do that? I mean I would like to get another shot at FSU in a neutral site. In the long term look at the two best conference records both this teams need to be in a championship even if they already played.

No they are East/West now, the ACC should just move to a North/South divisons. No one outside of the ACC has any clue who is in what divison.

They are actually one of the conferences lobbying for what you are suggesting. However currently if you don't have divisions you cannot have a title game per NCAA rules so there's nothing the ACC can do about it.

I dont. What happens when we lose 1 game to a very good team one year and 2 teams go undefeated yet play cream puffs? I don't like the unbalanced nature of the division - less schedule

I'm thinking that the divisions would remain, just the logic for determining the two teams to play in the ACCCCG/

If you are gonna use divisions, then you have to be willing to accept division winners. Changing the teams within divisions a possibility, but in no way can you let 2 teams from same division play for championship. That's as asinine as having 2 SECW teams play for a NC......oh wait

The acc may change the championship system but to get mad about it is stupid. There were years where the coastal was much stronger than the Atlantic and us or fsu benefited from that.

The championship game requires two divisions.

I don't think the ACC is getting rid of their championship game, nor should they.

the championship game. There wouldn't be a point for the game without divisions. The top team would just be the champion, as it is in the Big 12. Every other major conference has gone to divisions so they can have a championship game, which is a boon to the conference.

And that article doesn't even say that it's likely. Of course the ACC and Big 12 support it. But would the SEC and PAC-12? Probably not.

Re-Alignment
Oct 27, 2014, 12:41 PM
|
|
The current divisional alignment resemble two different conferences who's champions meet in Charlotte for the ACC-CG.
Here is an idea for a better ACC.
Divide into 3 groups of natural rivalries. You play an annual game against everyone in your group yearly. You play everyone else in the ACC every other year.
Group 1:
UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke
Group 2:
Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech
Group 3A:
Clemson, Georgia Tech, L-Ville
Group 3B:
FSU, Miami, Pitt
Atlantic Division in even years (2016, 2018, 2020, etc). Cross Divisional games shown in parenthesis.
UNC (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
NCST (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
Wake (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
Duke (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
Clemson (play 2 FSU, Miami, Pitt)
Georgia Tech (play 2 FSU, Miami, Pitt)
L-Ville (play 2 FSU, Miami, Pitt)
Coastal Division in even years (2016, 2018, 2020, etc). Cross Divisional games shown in parenthesis.
Syracuse (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
BC (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
UVA (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
VA Tech (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
FSU (play 2 Clemson, Georgia Tech, L-Ville)
Miami (play 2 Clemson, Georgia Tech, L-Ville)
Pitt (play 2 Clemson, Georgia Tech, L-Ville)
Atlantic Division in odd years (2017, 2019, 2021, etc).
UNC (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
NCST (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
Wake (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
Duke (play 2 Syracuse, BC, UVA, VA Tech)
FSU (play 2 Clemson, Georgia Tech, L-Ville)
Miami (play 2 Clemson, Georgia Tech, L-Ville)
Pitt (play 2 Clemson, Georgia Tech, L-Ville)
Coastal Division in odd years (2017, 2017, 2021, etc).
Syracuse (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
BC (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
UVA (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
VA Tech (play 2 UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke)
Clemson (play 2 FSU, Miami, Pitt)
Georgia Tech (play 2 FSU, Miami, Pitt)
L-Ville (play 2 FSU, Miami, Pitt)
