With 17 full members that means ND plays everyone home and away every 6 years. There will be 2 extra games to be played over those 6 years which you can allow ND to chose who they play. It can be one school (so 4x over 6 years) or two schools (both 3x over 6 years). With 17 it is a bit hard to schedule, but with the 6 ND games you can prevent late season bye weeks. As to the conference schedule I think you need to go 4 + 4/4/4 rotated. Which means you play non perm rivals home and away over 6 years. So for SU it would mean 2 California trips in 6 years, and one Texas trip. The perm rivals I would go with the below. That protects every series played over 57x except Duke vs UVA (70x). Which makes up for games lost under the current format. [B]BC[/B]- SU, Pitt, Miami, Stanford (add Stanford) [B]Clemson[/B]- Wake, NC State, GA Tech, FSU (add Wake) [B]Duke[/B]- UNC, Wake, GA Tech, NC State (add GA Tech) [B]FSU[/B]- Miami, Clemson, SU, Louisville (add Louisville) [B]GA Tech[/B]- Duke, Clemson, UVA, Cal (adding Duke, UVA, Cal and losing Louisville, Wake) [B]Louisville[/B]- Miami, VA Tech, FSU, SMU (adding VA Tech, FSU, SMU and losing GA Tech, UVA) [B]Miami[/B]- FSU, BC, Louisville, SMU (add SMU) [B]UNC[/B]- UVA, Wake, Duke, NC State (add Wake) [B]NC State[/B]- Wake, UNC, Clemson, Duke (add Wake) [B]Pitt[/B]- SU, BC, VA Tech, Cal (add Cal) [B]SU[/B]- Pitt, BC, VA Tech, FSU (add VA Tech) [B]UVA[/B]- UNC, VA Tech, GA Tech, Stanford (add GA Tech, Stanford and lose Louisville) [B]VA Tech[/B]- UVA, Pitt, SU, Louisville (add SU, Louisville and lose Wake) [B]Wake[/B]- NC State, UNC, Duke, Clemson (add NC State, UNC, Clemson and lose GA Tech, VA Tech) [B]Cal[/B]- Stanford, SMU, GA Tech, Pitt [B]SMU[/B]- Cal, Stanford, Louisville, Miami [B]Stanford[/B]- Cal, SMU, BC, UVA [/QUOTE]
