Well, the most obvious reason why it is infinitely better is another conference game guarantees 7 more losses for ACC teams. The middle of the ACC is not as bad as is perceived, but additional guaranteed losses will help fuel that perception.
Yeah, conferences should play each other more, but we are in a new age, and there are much more important things than the Big Four all playing each other. Take, this first weekend for example....
Clemson vs Auburn
VT vs Tennessee
Both of those matchups provide more exposure, and offer much greater rewards with a potential victory, than any ACC team could in the same situation.
As a conference, the ACC gains nothing if that game is VT vs Clemson instead.
I agree that that's a positive reason; good argument. Selfishly as a Wake fan I'd rather have 9 just to play more conference teams.
