Canes vs Pitt in 2013 - home or away? Anyone know? Edit | Reply
Now that we will be playing 6 coastal teams each year i gotta figure the format will be 3 home and 3 away for division foes, with the crossover match ups being 1 home 1 away for a total of 8

Based on this logic, can we assume Pitt will be away, along with UNC & Va Tech.

Home will be Ga Tech, UVA, and Duke

FSU will be away.

Then it gets interesting with NC State who normally would be our return trip away since we had them at home in 2012

But if we play at NC State that would make 5 away and 3 home

And normally Wake Forest would rotate into a home game in 2013 but thats out the door now

Im sure the additions affect other schools schedules too

Gary, can you ask around your ACC sources and see how the other writers feel about future conference scheduling and also who does Notre Dame play and when?

Also when will we play Syracuse again?

Thanks!

UNC, FSU, VT, NCST-AWAY

UVA, DUKE, GT, PITT-HOME

Don't know for sure, but it's seems like that's how it would be sliced
 
Just bump WF back another year to 2014...NCST gets their home game and Pitt gets scheduled, seems simple to me

I wish we could alternate years of our VT & f$U away games. I don't like them both away every other year.
 
Words cannot express how happy I am that Pitt is in our division. Can't wait to spend a whole week up there and watch Pens hockey and UM football.

There was an article a couple months ago talking about fitting Pitt and 'Cuse in.

The answer is:
Basically, we will either play Pitt on the road and host Wake Forest, or...
play Pitt at home and NC State on the road, completing our 'rotation' with them.


We'll know when the ACC schedule is released in a month or two.


Due to the scheduling of fitting 'Cuse and Pitt in, several teams might miss the second parts of their cross-divisional 'rotation'. For example, Virginia Tech should have to play @ FSU this year, but now that game is in doubt. FSU will either play @ Duke and home against 'Cuse, or @ 'Cuse and home against Virginia Tech.


One of the things that will suck now, a team's cross divisional 'matchup' can really dictate a team's intra-division success. What they need to do is take extra-divisional games out of the equation, outside of tie-breaking scenarios. For example, team A goes 6-0 in it's division, but plays FSU and Clemson in cross-divisional play and loses both. Team B goes 5-1 in divisional play, but plays Boston College and Wake Forest and wins both. Team A is clearly better, but team B would go to the ACCCG just based on uneven cross divisional scheduling.

Regardless, the future rotation will be:

Home - Away Alternated
*=divisional game


GT*
VIRGINIA*
DUKE*
CROSS-DIVISIONAL OPP.

VT*
PITT*
UNC*
FSU


or


GT*
VIRGINIA*
DUKE*
PITT*


VT*
UNC*
CROSS-DIVISIONAL OPP
FSU


Obviously, the first will be more balanced as far as divisional opponents home & away, so I guess that means that there is a good chance that we play Wake at home and Pitt on the road this upcoming season...but who knows what the ACC will do. They already have their divisions constructed in a silly nonsensical fashion.

That makes way to much ******* sense to occur.
