[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 1010347, member: 1555"] To your point, we don’t know what the strength of a team will be years down the road. But the likelihood of a “factory” school being a tough out is much higher than that of a non-factory. Traditionally. there has been a huge disparity in schedule difficulty between GT and our Coastal division peers such as Virginia Tech. The obvious reason is no one else had Clemson and the mutts as permanent rivals. But the ACC schedulers haven’t had a habit of doing us any favors either. In 2019, VT goes 8-4 against a schedule featuring only ND as a traditional power (a loss), and gets a Belk Bowl bid. In the ACC-only 2020 season, we went 1-2 against FSU, Clemson, and Notre Dame. VT only had to get a beatdown from Clemson. Going to divisionless schedules eases things for us a bit while forcing teams like VT to play more factory schools rather than facing just their Coastal opponents. I think the relative schedule parity will make a difference in the ACC standings going forward. Of course, the wild card is the future of FSU and Clemson in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
