With the new decision for an 8 game schedule, does this mean the league will go with a no-division format?
The divisions should be aligned Carolina/Virginia in one and everyone else in the other with no permanent crossover rival, but the problem is everybody wants to travel to Florida every other year. But under the current setup, we will play North Carolina less often over the next 20 years than we did during the last 20. And we are missing out on games with VPI, Miami, and Georgia Tech. That's just absurd.
Surely, we have to be going with the 0 division format where each team has 3 annual rivals, then plays the other 10 schools twice every 4 years. There should be a way to stagger Florida State and Miami so that everyone gets to play one or the other every year.
I love playing Clemson and FSU every year, but I would trade that for more games with Miami, VPI, and Georgia Tech. And we would still get the Noles and Tigers 2/4. (And it's quite possible that one or both would like UofL as their annual rival anyway.)
Please tell me this is in the works!
