I have to disagree.  Swofford really wanted 3-5-5, but the $EC and B1G voted it down because they really and truely still believe that they can get the ACC to implode and they'll get to pick over the remnants.  It was all laid out.  Under 3-5-5, the two teams with the best records would be in the championship game.  There was no idea of "sneaking ND" into the game.  We don't like the idea of playing anybody in the Atlantic Division other than Louisville once every 6 years.  I don't think anybody in the Coastal Division likes that idea any more than we do.  We actually like playing Wake even though their QBs have 10 years of elegibility.  It's another game that is easy for our fanbase to attend.  Same with NC State.  Clemson is a tough ticket because they're sold out so much.  Same with FSU.  While we don't have a lot of alums in Kentucky, I'm sure a number come up from Nashville and Memphis for UofL.  Boston? Sure.  if anywhere, the "toughest" place to get our fans to would be SU.

Most of our fanbase is pretty reasonable on expectations.  We expect UVa to win 7-9 games on a routine basis with occasional forays into double digits.  We'd rarely be in the championship game under the present system, let alone 3-5-5 and we're OK with that.
