I like this set-up because it basically takes the powerful southern pod and makes it a reality within the confines of two divisions and it keeps alive the northeastern pairings in a N/S set-up except for not having BC-Pitt.

I think your divisional split and the 6-2-1 set-up also solves most of the issues other than FSU, Clemson, and GT wanting to remain an 8-game schedule.  More importantly it would be dynamite for TV, imho which is why I think this set-up could actually be acceptable to all.

[B][U]Annual[/U][/B] attractive games for TV would be:

[B][U]Upper tier national ABC TV games[/U][/B]:

FSU-Miami
FSU-Clemson
Miami-Clemson
Miami-VT
Clemson-VT
FSU-GT

[B][U]Next level (slightly) down national ABC/ESPN TV games[/U][/B]:

Clemson-GT
Miami-GT
FSU-Louisville
GT-Louisville
VT-Pitt

[B][U]Next level down ESPN, ESPN2 TV games, sometimes ABC if one of the teams is a national contender[/U][/B]:

FSU-BC
Miami-Pitt
FSU-UNC
Clemson-Pitt
Miami-SU
VT-SU
Louisville-UNC
UNC-GT
Clemson-NCSt
UNC-NCSt

[B][U]Possible Thursday night ESPN games[/U][/B]:

Louisville-Pitt
Pitt-SU
Louisville-BC
SU-BC
Miami-NCSt
VT-NCSt
UNC-UVa
Pitt-NCSt
VT-BC

[B][U]ACCN type games featuring upper level ACC teams[/U][/B]:

FSU-Duke
FSU-UVa
Clemson-SU
Clemson-Wake
Miami-Wake
VT-UVa
GT-Duke
GT-BC
UNC-Duke
UNC-BC

And remember, these are the set annual games.  They don't include the ND games or the 1 ACC match-up that would rotate over time.

Again, well done.  If I could "LIKE" your posts where you present these ideas a hundred times, I would.

Cheers,
Neil
