Disappointed no VT but glad we play BC yearly considering Blake James is in control of that outfit now
Yep. FSU, Pitt, and VT were easy picks but the ACC can't help but turn simple math into advanced calculus.Our 3 primaries should have been VT, FSU and Pitt/UNC
Yes, and Canes home game will draw 35K. Bad move period from the ACC. Easy pick should've been VT over UL or BC.Just a guess, but there a lot of UM alums in the Northeast. So, adding BC makes sense. Plus, Boston is a fellow big market. Marketing.
That and the fact they played every year in the Big East.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
I can somewhat understand BC, but I still don't understand including Louisville and excluding VaTech.Just a guess, but there a lot of UM alums in the Northeast. So, adding BC makes sense. Plus, Boston is a fellow big market. Marketing.

BTW, Cans/VT have played 39 times. BC 30 times and UL 13 times.
Not playing the Hokies every year is going to be really strange

I am happy about it...I hate playing Va Tech...always have....hate they they threatened a lowsuit against us for leaving the Big East and forced their way into the ACCI can somewhat understand BC, but I still don't understand including Louisville and excluding VaTech.
The only other team you could argue is Wake, but nobody cares about or is scared of Wake, and they also are part of the Carolina Cabal.Coincidence? I think not.
Tobacco Road continues to stay undefeated.
This is my biggest issue with it. The new schedule drastically increases the odds that we get left out without having the chance to control our own destiny and increases the likelihood that some middle of the road team hits an easy schedule along with some lucky bounces and has a "hot" season. When you had divisions, even if you got a harder schedule one year than another team, you still had your destiny in your own hands and everybody played a very similar schedule.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 letās say Clemson runs the table and us and WF are both 7-1. We didnāt play them so who gets in? Based on common opponents? I donāt 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 itās 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 doesnāt move the needle much for me at this point.
