[QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3936669, member: 27"]
Alsacs, are you sure Syracuse and BC voted for an 8 game schedule or is this something you are guessing?

The article identifies some schools on both sides:

pro 9 game schedule
North Carolina
Miami
NC State

pro 8 game schedule
Clemson
Florida State
Georgia Tech

I would think Louisville would vote for an 8 game schedule for the same reason as Clemson, FSU and GT.

The reason I ask is because I believe I read some quotes from Dr Gross back around this time indicating he wanted to go to a 9 game schedule.  I think it was largely to get more chances to play in Atlanta and Miami against GT and UM.

I could see Duke and Wake voting for an 8 game schedule to make for easier schedules and easier paths to bowl games.  I would guess SU, Pitt and BC would all like to have more ACC conference games to get more chances to play in talent rich locations where southern ACC schools are.

Assuming everyone else was pro an 8 game schedule, that would give us...

[B]pro 9 game schedule[/B]
North Carolina
Miami
NC State
Syracuse
Pitt
BC

[B]pro 8 game schedule[/B]
Clemson
FSU
GT
UL
UVa
VT
Duke 
WF

Anyone know for sure what the breakdown was?
