To be honest, I want them this season as well. Would be a great replacement for MSU. Play them there, come here...I don't really care. Just want to beat down those smug mfers again.
Here is what I posted in another thread if they go conference +1 game (rivalry) since the SEC wants to keep its traditional rivalries (UGA-GT, FSU-UF, UK-UL):
If they do go with this model, it will solve the ND issue. ND already plays 6 ACC teams including Clemson, Louisville and GT. So remove Clemson, Louisville and GT since they play USCe, UK and UGA, and add 6 more ACC teams to their schedule (If possible). They may only need to add 5 ACC opponents if the SEC goes with this model since ND plays Arkansas this year and Arkansas doesn’t have an out of conference annual rivalry.
UNC is supposed to play Auburn, and NCST plays Miss St. this year so that takes care of all 4 teams out of conference game.
So add Miami, VT, Boston College, UVA, and Syracuse to ND’s schedule and call it a day. So they would be playing those teams along with Duke, Pitt, WF and Arkansas.
All ACC teams would now have a game against a power 5 team. Doesn’t seem so complicated to me. ACC should thank for me doing their work.
