Yup, and get out of being tied to UL in the three team model.Gimme BC and Pitt and call it a day.
Are they trying to tell us something here with 2-6-6? 3-5-5 is the scheduling format for 14 teams, which the ACC has now. 2-6-6 is the format for 15 teams. Hmm.Please baby Jesus move to new scheduling format. 2-6-6 is fine. Being able to play every team home and away in four years is perfect.
Tail wagging the dog yet again. Barf.Would adding a team, allow the ACC to renegotiate their ESPN deal?

I realize she's not the head cheerleader; but, Prom's getting close, and other options are swiftly being snatched up. I wouldn't mind pairing the Tigers with West Virginia, go to Sixteen and call it a day.Tail wagging the dog yet again. Barf.

That’ll bring true rivalries backGimme BC and Pitt and call it a day.
Yeah, just coming to post this.Are they trying to tell us something here with 2-6-6? 3-5-5 is the scheduling format for 14 teams, which the ACC has now. 2-6-6 is the format for 15 teams. Hmm.
I've been talking about 2-6-6 as a way to get around finding a 16th team if (when?) ...Yeah, just coming to post this.
That math doesn't add up, Pete. At least with the current configuration of the ACC.

Makes so much sense in lieu of a no brainer 16th team to takeI've been talking about 2-6-6 as a way to get around finding a 16th team if (when?) ...
No one really has 3 absolutely, positively must-have games. It's easy to pick 3rd teams for a bunch, but I think they'd have no problems dropping one.Makes so much sense in lieu of a no brainer 16th team to take
Is there any team in the ACC with 3 MUST HAVE rivalry games? I feel like most only have 1 or 2 in conference

64 billion dollar question(Adjusted for inflation) is who plays ND? Clemson, FSU, Miami, Pitt?No one really has 3 absolutely, positively must-have games. It's easy to pick 3rd teams for a bunch, but I think they'd have no problems dropping one.
UNC will get Duke, NC State, and UVa (I can already hear the howls of the Wolfpack when they get dropped under 2-6-6)
Duke will get UNC, Georgia Tech, and Wake (Duke will have to really think this one over. The reasons for Wake are obvious, but Duke has played Georgia Tech every year since 1937.)
If ND comes in, they would probably want 2 of Miami and Pitt (mostly likely pair), or Georgia Tech, the three ACC teams they played the most before they signed the agreement, Playing BC (who they like to call "Fredo") is also a possibility, but I think they'd be a bit disappointed about it.64 billion dollar question(Adjusted for inflation) is who plays ND?

We call them that, too.If ND comes in, they would probably want 2 of Miami and Pitt (mostly likely pair), or Georgia Tech, the three ACC teams they played the most before they signed the agreement, Playing BC (who they like to call "Fredo") is also a possibility, but I think they'd be a bit disappointed about it.
WVU would be the best addition. They draw VG TV numbers and their fans travel. Also built in rivalries.Would adding a team, allow the ACC to renegotiate their ESPN deal?

In a 14 member league, each team has 13 opponents. A 2+6 (6) schedule plan would mean that each team has 14 league opponents, which means 15 total members.
Well, Thamel at times is an idiot, he reminds of a semi-high IQ girl who also is giddy and batty and gets easily confused.Are they trying to tell us something here with 2-6-6? 3-5-5 is the scheduling format for 14 teams, which the ACC has now. 2-6-6 is the format for 15 teams. Hmm.
