I hate Thamel but the world won't end if there isn't smooth scheduling math. He likely means a 2+ model which results in you playing those 11 other teams 6x over an 11 year period.

For example...

UNC- UVA, Duke

Year 1- NC State, BC, Pitt, Miami, Clemson, VA Tech
Year 2- Wake, SU, Louisville, FSU, GA Tech, NC State
Year 3- BC, Pitt, Miami, Clemson, VA Tech, Wake
Year 4- SU, Louisville, FSU, GA Tech, NC State, BC
and so on

Also he is reporting it is being discussed, he didn't create it. I am surprised it is even on the table. A 2+ model means Clemson doesn't play Wake (their most played ACC team), Duke doesn't play Wake-NC State-UVA, UNC doesn't play Wake-NC State, NC State doesn't play UNC-Duke, UVA doesn't play Duke, Wake doesn't play UNC-Duke-Clemson. If you are not going with the easy math (3+5/5) then you should pick the 4+ model over the 2+ model. That way you only lose one of those games (mostly likely Duke-Wake). Under the 4+ you play everyone 4x over 9 years. Not as good as the 2+ with 6x over 11 years, but you get to play 2 additional rivals yearly.

Edit

for the 2+ I would want SU to have Pitt, BC

Year 1- Miami, UVA, UNC, Duke, Clemson, Louisville
Year 2- FSU, VA Tech, NC State, Wake, GA Tech, Miami
Year 3- UVA, UNC, Duke, Clemson, Louisville, FSU
Year 4- VA Tech, NC State, Wake, GA Tech, Miami, UVA
and so on
