looking at the new "rivalry" games and how they compare to the last 8 years of normal (non-Covid) ACC scheduling, five schools retained 3 annual rivals that they were already playing, 4 kept 2, and 5 (including WF, of course) kept only 1. In theory, the last 8 years were supposed to create/solidify rivalries.
The schools who kept 1 annual rival:
BC: retained Cuse, traded the rest of the Atlantic and VT for two traditional Big East rivals Miami and Pitt
UL: retained UVA(?), traded the Atlantic for GT and Miami
GT: retained Clemson, traded the Coastal for UL and WF
Miami: retained FSU, traded the Coastal for UL and BC
WF: retained Duke, traded the Atlantic for GT and VT
Looks to me like WF and GT got boned the worst in terms of schedule attractiveness. Would be worse if we kept BC or Cuse but hard to find many worse options.
Teams who kept 2:
NCSU (replaced one in-state rival with a different one)
VT (lost most of the Coastal, picked up WF)
Duke (picked up an in-state rival)
Pitt (picked up BC, lost most of the Coastal)
Teams who kept 3 teams on the annual schedule who they were previously playing every year:
Clemson
FSU
Cuse
UNC
UVA
