[QUOTE="eetech, post: 285282, member: 1924"] In the past 5 years or so, GT has played the most opponents with a bye week fore our game in the ACC. This seems to indicate some sort of conspiracy. However, we aren't alone because FSU is actually tied with us in this department. What seems most likely to me is that since the ACC doesn't allow teams to directly request byes before a specific opponent, teams may have indirect ways of making requests which increase the odds of getting a bye before a specific team. So Coastal teams have been stacking their requests hoping to get byes before us, while Atlantic teams have been doing the same to FSU (which until the last couple of years was the team to beat in the Atlantic). The net effect has been that both these teams have ended up with more lopsided schedules. I really doubt it's a conspiracy with the ACC out to get us. If it was the Tobacco Road mafia I cannot see why they would be out to get us as opposed to VPI, or FSU or Clemson. If those teams are protected because of their alumni base then why isn't the ACC out to get Pitt, or Syracuse, or UVA? I highly doubt we just happen to be the only team in the Goldilocks zone for ACC conspiracy. [/QUOTE]
