I think 2005 is the only year it would have made a difference....we lost to FSU then beat
#3 VT.......but lost that game after to GT at home and lost the division.
VT has had a huge advantage while we got FSU every year and GT got Clemson every year. There will never be a year where VT plays both Clemson, FSU, Louisville and NC State.....where GT and US will have that 4 out of every 7 years.
To put it in math terms over a 7 year period. 14 cross division games.
10 of the 14 games for US/GT will be against those teams (with 3 times getting 2 of them)
Only 4 of the 14 games for VT will be against a those teams
That is a huge scheduling advantage that gets ignored.....Really need BC to get back to being a 8-9 win team they used to be that can at least beat VT every other year to level the playing field.
I wish they would realign. Move FSU into our division, ship VT out and get rid of the rivalry games to balance the schedule fairly.
