Not playing the Hokies every year is going to be really strange

Yup…. Feel like you could have swapped Loserville easily for VT

 

[Canes Legacy]

Hate it.

UNC, PITT and VT all have an argument over UL and BC. Better rivalries and storylines.

 

[Cane4L]

Hate it.

How come?

 

[Warrior808]

I THINK WF GOT THE BEST OF THIS DEAL.

 

[MDOcane]

who actually wanted this? the commissioner? ADs?

nothing about this makes the conference schedule more exciting IMO

 

[The U is back to work]

I’m glad the divisions are gone they shouldn’t exist anymore in any conference. If you’re worried just expand the conference championships to a final 4

except for having to play Clemson 3 straight years, including twice on the road...

Yup I mean if you wanna live in box since the 80s I guess you could still bring up the Hail Flutie play but that never started some rivalry or anything

 

[Tony4Canes]

Look at that 2023 home schedule

 

[MDOcane]

UNC got the easiest primary opponents IMO

 

[Canes Legacy]

How come?

Disparity in scheduling on a year to year basis. Some teams will have an easy/difficult road to the top 2 compared to the rest of the conference. Divisions had flaws but it was somewhat equal since 6/8 games were the same.

Tiebreakers- In 2023 for example let’s say Clemson runs the table and us and WF are both 7-1. We didn’t play them so who gets in? Based on common opponents? I don’t like the potential of not having H2H tiebreakers especially combined with disparity in schedules. You could have crazy 3 way ties within divisions but at least you had a chance to beat the teams before it goes to asinine tiebreakers.

I do like that it’s pretty much guaranteed to have a quality matchup in the title game. Only positive for me. The idea of playing Syracuse instead of GT or Wake instead of UNC doesn’t move the needle much for me at this point.

Coincidence? I think not.

Tobacco Road continues to stay undefeated.

True but having GT and DUKE in your primary 3 makes you sleep good at night.
