UCF would as well.

Thinking long term UCF might be the best option as #16 for the ACC. They are a large school in a good TV market, and adds further access to Florida recruits.

I think in the past the conferences preferred UCF to end up like FAU, but that hasn't happened. They are now a legit option for HS Florida kids and that will not change. So why not embrace it? The ACC could have North, Central, and South Florida all covered. IMO that will be an advantage for ACC schools recruiting against the B1G.

SU can go to a kid and say we will play 3x in Florida, plus another 8x in the South. Or you can go play at Rutgers and never play in Florida plus play most of your road games in the cold Midwest.

I know FSU would put up a fight initially but I think they can be persuaded once they look at all the advantages. Plus FSU has no real options outside of the ACC so the threat of them leaving isn't what it was in the past.

I also wouldn't mind the ACC going to 18 by adding Cincy and either WV or Temple. Everyone can have 5 perm rivals and then rotate the other 12 teams over 3 seasons. So 6 seasons to get everyone home and away.

Or even 20 by taking WV/Temple and UConn. Then you can play 4+5/5/5 in football and everyone once plus your main rival 2x in BBall.
