I agree, but the NCAA is, for reasons known only to them, adamant about their arbitrary rules on how a conference has to be constructed in order to hold a championship game. It's so amazing that they abdicate any potential authority on so many important issues, but dammit if they don't lay down the law when it comes to pods!
 
I'm not sure it works, but probably the best thing the ACC could do is radically realign and drop the fixed divisional cross-over games. Just make sure you get as many "necessary" annual games into each division. Sadly there's no perfect way of doing it, the league just doesn't lend itself to it from a geographic and competitive balance standpoint.
 
Would need something to the effect of...
 
[B][U]Division A[/U][/B]:
FSU
Miami
Clemson
GaTech
Syracuse
BC
Pitt
 
[B][U]Division B[/U][/B]:
UVA
VaTech
UNC
NC State
Duke
Wake
Louisville
 
You could then just have teams play 2 of their non-division opponents every year on a rotating basis, and at least you'd see everyone every 3 1/2 years.  Far from ideal, but better than seeing them every 6 years.
