ACC football divisions - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

not sure if this is only for football, but here are the ACC division alignments. Each team will play its division opponents, a primary rival in the opposite division and two cross-divisional games against rotating opponents.

Division A: BC, Clemson, FSU, Md, NC St, WF.

Division B: Duke, Ga Tech, Miami, NC, Va, Va Tech.

Cross-divisional rivalries:
BC--Va Tech
Clemson--Ga Tech
FSU--Miami
Md--Va
NC St--NC
WF--Duke

looks like FSU-Miami could soon be playing twice a year!

It's for football only, at least for now.

Still can't figure out why they can't do geographical divisions.

yeah, the logical thing would be to split them divisions on geography, but i guess they wanna have 'em balanced.

I like the "rivalry game" concept for the cross-divisional matchups. Too bad the Big XII didn't take the same approach, and keep the OU-Nebraska game an annual affair.

I would move either Miami or VT into the other division. You shouldn't have those two powerhouses in the same division.

Also consider that division B would almost always win the ACC championship game given this lineup.

Umm, you realize that FSU is in Division A right?

The way it's set up, Division A has the most competition. Division B has the raw power.

Despite the fact that A has four past/present football powers in it?

I think the divisions are evenly matched within each other, I'd just rather see geographic divisions:

BC, Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Duke, North Carolina

NC State, Wake Forest, Clemson, Georgia Tech, FSU, Miami

Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
