If the ACC requires two P5 games on the non-conference slate then we need to work out a deal with UNC make that an annual game.
Play UNC in years we don't play ND or at least years Wake and UNC don't play ND.
I'd prefer 9 conference games + 1 power 5 over 8 conference games + 2 power 5s. While WF can go the out-of-conference route with conference foes (like UNC), it'd be nice to slightly increase the frequency of playing all Coastal teams."In creating the ACC Network, ESPN required two scheduling concessions. The first, expanding the league’s men’s basketball schedule from 18 to 20 games, was announced last month at the network’s unveiling.
Now it’s time for the second, in football.
With commissioner John Swofford, ACC athletic directors are scheduled to convene via conference call at 9 a.m., Friday to deliberate, and perhaps approve, one of two options provided by ESPN: expand the league schedule from eight to nine games, while continuing to play at least outside power five opponent annually; or, remain at eight conference games and play at least two non-league power fives each season.
The ADs could deadlock and/or delay their decision Friday, but status quo is about to vanish. This is an either/or negotiated by ESPN, the ACC’s primary broadcast outlet and partner in the network."

I'd prefer to stay at 8 with the flexibility of scheduling an ACC team (preferably UNC) as a P5 opponent in years we don't play ND. Here's where keeping the annual game against Vandy would have been helpful.
Going to 9 would likely be too rigid with ND as a regular non-con game.

Non-conference conference games are stupid. I'm in favor of any solution that gets rid of those, but sees us play each of our in-state rivals at least once every two years

I don't understand why you would make the Notre Dame exception. If Wake has to have two P5 teams on the non-conference schedule, one of them should always be UNC (except for the years that they are a conference game). Any P5 opponent is a potential loss for us. The Heels bring us the biggest benefit in terms of seats sold, ticket prices, alumni engagement, history, instate recruiting, instate media attention, etc....
