I think the 4+ model will be needed. I tried to limit the pool to teams that either were in that school's Top 5 or were in another school's Top 5 teams played. The best I could come up with is below. Most schools get their Top 3 opponents. The 3+5/5 model leaves out too many of these games.

FSU- Miami, Clemson, GA Tech, Louisville
They get their #1 but don't get #2, #3, or #4. But they do get the big game vs #5 Clemson and the close game vs GA Tech.

Miami- FSU, Pitt, VA Tech, BC
They get their Top 4.

Clemson- Wake, NC State, GA Tech, FSU
They get their Top 3 plus the big game vs FSU.

GA Tech- Duke, Clemson, UVA, FSU
They have their Top 2 and #4. Plus the close game vs FSU.

UNC- UVA, Wake, Duke, NC State
They get their Top 4.

Duke- UNC, Wake, Duke, UVA
They get the Top 3 and #5.

NC State- Wake, UNC, Clemson, Louisville
The Top 3 are there but they get stuck with Louisville.

Wake- NC State, UNC, Duke, Clemson
They have their Top 4.

UVA- UNC, VA Tech, Duke, GA Tech
The Top 3 are there plus a traditional opponent.

VA Tech- UVA, Miami, BC,[B] [/B]SU
#1 and #3 are there, plus two old Big East foes.

SU- Pitt, BC, Louisville, VA Tech
We get our Top 2 plus #4 and #5.

BC- SU, Pitt, VA Tech, Miami
They are only missing #2 from their Top 5.

Pitt- SU, Miami, BC, Louisville
The Top 3 plus a team close by.

Louisville- SU, FSU, Pitt, NC State
Again we see a Top 3. NC State gets stuck with Louisville.
