How the F is a conference game not a conference game? UNC WF

[Cajuncane]

UNC and Wake used to play every year and with the 8 game schedule they don’t play very often anymore so they scheduled a home and home “non conference” series.

Kind of like how Miami used to play BC and Syracuse every year. I wouldn’t mind playing them instead of Central Conn St.

Be careful what you wish for..

 

[Cajuncane]

So then UNC doesn’t improve its standing in the Coastal with this win?

Nope

 

[Pentagon Cane]

???

Same when we play FSU home and away in baseball. Only one series counts. We only play them in Trailerhassee this year I believe.

Oh ok. I understand now

Guys, we should be happy this didn't give UNC a 4th ACC win.

Also, UVA is still ahead of us and wins a tie breaker because of our head to head loss. UNC is the same status.

For those hoping and praying Manny doesn’t back into an ACC title, Manny is capable of messing up on his own.

Exactly. I'm good with that.

They both needed a game so they scheduled each other. They were not slated to play each other. Probably saved a lot of money on travel too.

Wow

 

[JBCanes-NC]

Not this 1st time either

 

[Canedude08]

This isn't the 1st time this has happened. With conference expansion, some long time rivals have done this in order to keep games going. Frankly, I wouldn't be shocked if this started happening more often, especially as conferences expand to 16 teams. Think about what happens if for example Ohio State and Michigan can't play each other every year.

 

[S.CarolinaCane]

So it is neither a win nor a loss? Wait until the SEC figures out how to do this.

They have, say hello to UT and Oklahoma

 

[canesbaby]

I feel like we have this same conversation around this time every year. It's wacky but happens every year it seems.

 

[CDWright40]

Site full of tards who can’t understand this.

 

[Antcane]

I see what you're saying but by this logic and with travel being made much less of a factor as the world modernizes then we theoretically should be able to schedule FSU as an OOC game (if they ever get good again). Get rid of the whole "rivalry game" concept as you've already corrupted conference standings the moment you make any exceptions/exclusions.

We have in baseball played them about 2 years ago now as ooc series.

Next week, Manny will end all "Corstal Calculations"

They are rivals .. and hadn't played one another for quite a while .. in 2015 they agreed to an OOC home and home in order to give the fans the rivalry game they want to see .. so it does NOT count as a conference loss for Wake .. but it does impact their post season opportunities even if they do win the ACC Championship. Having that loss to UNC they would not likely get a playoff berth.
