Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4261121, member: 27"] I don't believe this has been decided and I don't think anyone knows for sure what is happening. Matt Fortuna and Andy Staples seemed to have the article with the most info on what is happening behind the curtain. It is a premium article so I can't post a lot of the info in it but I think this quote from the FSU AD is worth reviewing: [B][URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/3304879/2022/05/10/acc-football-schedule-model-college-football-playoff-2023/[/URL][/B] [I]“One-hundred percent,” Florida State AD Michael Alford said. “I look at Boston College and Syracuse. How many times do they want to get to Florida? A lot. So what is the best scenario? And how many times do I want to get into the New York market? I want to get up in the Boston and New York market, because it’s a key market for us to build our brands and for recruiting. So making sure that we’re doing the right things where everybody has the same opportunity (is important).” Alford, who said conference ADs will meet with ESPN on Wednesday, made his case that Florida State needs Clemson and Miami as two of its three annual conference opponents. He is more flexible on the third. “It’s a wild card,” he said. “But I’m looking at it as, what’s best for the conference? How do we grow our brand? And I’ll get selfish toward it and say, how do I grow my brand? And where can I go play often that gets me in a major TV market?”[/I] [HEADING=2][I]Potential permanent opponents?[/I][/HEADING] [I][B]Boston College —[/B] Miami, Syracuse, Virginia Tech [B]Clemson —[/B] NC State, Georgia Tech, Florida State [B]Duke —[/B] North Carolina, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech [B]Florida State —[/B] Miami, Clemson, Syracuse [B]Georgia Tech —[/B] Clemson, Duke, Louisville [B]Louisville —[/B] Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech [B]Miami —[/B] Florida State, Boston College, Pittsburgh ...[/I] Just as the northern schools value playing regularly in Florida, it sounds like the Florida schools value playing in the Northeast. So it makes a lot of sense to force these things to happen ASAP. [/QUOTE]
