ACC Considering Eliminating Divisions In Football

No one in the ACC considers Wake Forest as a rival. We do have our niche however. We are everybody's second favorite team. Which is pretty cool.
 
Also, we'll see if Clemson maintains this level. If you told somebody 20 years ago what FSU would become in that time you would not believed, and they were certainly more dominant in the conference than Clemson has been
 
I admit this is LOWF.

I think Wake could get the short end of the stick when divisions are eliminated. The conference will make decisions based on money and prestige. Wake can't fill its 30K stadium on a regular basis (F on $) and has the smallest fan base in the conference (F on prestige). The big schools will get their preferences and Wake will be available to fill in the blanks where fits may be difficult.

Recall what happened when the conference imposed ACC schedules during Covid 2020. The Deacs were given the most difficult schedule. Expect no favors or respect.

Why not the "Big 4" as the 3 permanent rival games amongst each other, or is that just too easy?? :dumb:

I agree with this. Any alignment that does not have WFU, UNC, NCSU, and Duke playing each other every year is ridiculous. Which means that is probably what will happen.

Not particularly. UNC would much rather play UVA that us, and UVA would rather play UNC.

I assume we get Duke/State/BC.

It isn't the perfect scenario, but with a good non-conference schedule, that should get Wake 6 wins most years. Can't win 12 if you don't get 6.

Would they? Do you think UNC would schedule OOC football games with UVA?
 
Wait people actually feel like there's some kind of rivalry with BC? I've never sensed that.

UVa any day of the week over BC for me, both us and the 'Hoos wouldn't have anyone natural for the third spot if they are gonna maintain UNC-Virginia
 
Yeah Wake-UNC has been played more though UVA-UNC is a handful of years older

I think this is backwards. uNC-UVA have played more times, but Wake-uNC played 4 years earlier. (1888 vs 1892)
