Message: [QUOTE="Btstimpy, post: 1601644, member: 2043"] The thought at the time was that having Duke, Wake Forest, and Maryland, whom all got blown out consistently by FSU in the 90s making where the games were played irrelevant, play their home games against FSU in Florida effectively gave FSU 6 home conference games a season. That was deemed not fair to other members actually trying to compete with FSU for football championships in the Conference. Whether it made any difference is up for debate. UVA actually was co-champion in 1995 with FSU after beating FSU. UNC came very close in 1997 to doing so as well. Duke playing ND in Philly, Washington, or anywhere else wouldn't be as big a deal today I don't think. Or Navy playing people around the country wouldn't be a big deal either. Times are different with 15 members than with 9. [/QUOTE]
