UVA has no history with either to speak of. We've only played Louisville 2 times ever in the 80s, and we've only played Boston College about 5 or 6 times. I'd probably go with Boston College for the road trips to Boston, but neither will really generate much excitement for UVA fans in football like a historic rivalry from the original ACC would. There aren't fans from either in the local sports bars in Richmond to spar with on a fall Saturday afternoon even. Most of the rest of the ACC is represented there BTW including Syracuse. But when someone you've played 77 times walks away, this kind of choice is what you're left with sometimes.
 
I think at this point they have us with Louisville who is replacing Maryland. All of our primary historic rivalries are currently in the Division with us. The crossover game will just be treated like another division game with a new team by the fans if it is one of these two as long as the division maintains most of its makeup.  It would be an opportunity to build a new rivalry.  I'd be surprised if they gave us Boston College though after they have spent so much time building a rivalry with Virginia Tech.

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
