I would just add that the issue with FSU and Clemson was also wanting 7 home games per year.  They each have huge stadiums that they want to play in as much as possible each season for the revenue.  In the 9 game format, they would have to give up the 7th home game when playing 5 ACC games on the road because they want at least one cupcake at home each year too. 
 
And point number 2 is important.  This was the only way to be able to give Notre Dame the flexibility it wants to even consider adding the 3 additional ACC games to its schedule down the road.  Hopefully after they get comfortable with playing ACC schools it can happen for both the ACC and Notre Dame.  Then we are back to "Who will be #16?"
 
As far as the OOC rivalry games,  Virginia and Virginia Tech don't have any in particular to add.  All are in the Conference.  FSU, Clemson, and Georgia Tech have theirs every year.  Miami wants to have one with Florida, but the Gators won't do it.  Some of the North Carolina Schools play East Carolina.  I think Pitt wants to work out something with Penn State and possibly West Virginia. 
 
Who would Syracuse choose as OOC rivalry? Perhaps Rutgers? Or just be like UVA and not have one?
