That makes sense what you're saying on Wake.  But there are two ways I'm thinking on this.  One, Wake is the one team getting kind of screwed by this, in the sense of getting left out of their traditional Tobacco road group.  I thought giving them the group with the best recruiting grounds and the more attractive football programs would be at least some consolation.  They may not feel that way, to them it might be a death sentence to their hope of competitiveness.
 
The other thing to think about is that these are the teams that you are going to be married to on every year's schedule.  Let's call a spade a spade, the North is light on star power.  If you're in the North, do you really want to slot a game every year to Wake Forest, at the expense of another game vs. the Atlantic or South?  I wouldn't if I were you.
 
I have a lot of affection for Wake, but they are kind of the dog in this whole thing, when you look at their ceiling, the interest they draw, their tiny fan base, and their traditional ties.  If any group can absorb Wake it would be the powerful South Division.
 
That was just my thinking.
