Everyone is aware UL has no rivals.  That was discussed weeks ago in the David Teel article.  Old news.

And it is no excuse for screwing up schedule balancing so badly with this model.

They were supposed to account for the rivalries and then take the rest of the ACC schools and try and play them all an equal number of times.

If you need at some ACC schools, the schedule does exactly that.  SMU, Cal, Stanford have 7 games against each other and play everyone else 3 times.  That is wonderful.  Great job ACC.

We play the North Carolina schools 2 times in 7 years.  And we play Louisville 5 times in 7 years.

The same applies to BC and Pitt.

I would be fine with playing some non-rival schools 3 times and some 4.  5 vs 2  is too extreme.  Major fail.  Playing 4 conference schools once at home in seven years put us back in the days of the original awful schedule model.

The bottom line is that the ACC gave the schools in NC preferential treatment.  Shame on them.
