Is it possible to only follow or route for half a conference. Let's say Uconn moves over eventually and assume ND/Rutgers/Penn St are 16th team. The ACC 'North' in may have a nice home/away schedule with BC/UConn/Pitt/???/MD/VT/VA.
Are we setting ourselves up for the inevitiable ... "BC deserves a bid over Clemson because they had a tougher schedule in the 'North' and/or the ACC 'South' isn't nearly as tough as the ACC 'North' " ... looks like there could be rivalries between schools AND divisions that I don't think exist in the conferences that have 2 divisions now like the SEC ... I for one might watch BC/UCONN with interest and really could care less about most of the 'South' games other then Duke/NC.
To me this feels more like the old 'Big East' vs old 'ACC' which actually is pretty interesting dynamic.
Can I still hate the old ACC by not liking the ACC 'South' - does that count? I really like the move but I'm struggling to figure out how to still despise the ACC at the same time.
Go Orange ... Go 'North' .. not sure what to make of this yet.
