[QUOTE="Animal02, post: 149752, member: 347"] There are actually several separate issues mixing as one. 1.[B] Goal of getting into the CFP[/B]. The simplest way will be to go undefeated and win the ACCCG. The selection committee will not pass over an undefeated P5 conference champion in favor of a 1 loss non conference champion. (Exceptions......you schedule a FCS or 2 and non P5 teams for OoC......or all 5 P5 conferences have a undefeated champion) There is absolutely no way the selection committee will pass by an undefeated conference champion unless they wish to dissolve the CFP. 2.[B] Goal of playing in the ACC CG[/B] This is an obvious goal every year. Tech (nor any other team) should be handicapped or given a leg up year in and year out by having a strong or weak permanent cross over. Every team has its ups and down....that usually run in streaks, rotating through the other division is the only way to make it fair for all teams involved. Dropping the permanent cross over will also mean seeing all teams more frequently.......going to a 9 (or even 10) game conference schedule will increase that frequency even more. 3.[B] Goal of getting an ACC team into the CFP[/B] Currently there are 3-4 perceived top teams in each division. 2 play 2 from the other division every year, so the odds of a potential CFP team getting defeated are greatly increased. 4.[B]Dropping Clemson just to have an easier schedule.[/B] I do not think anyone is really in favor of this, and this is far different than dropping the permanent cross over to restore balance to the drive to the division championship. 5. [B]Strength of schedule[/B] Much has been said about the in conference strength of schedule. Strength of in conference opponents will not be a factor since teams have no decision in who they play until you are talking 2 losses. OoC schedule will definitely be a factor. 6.[B]Rivalry[/B] I never saw Clemson as a "rival" like UGA when I was at Tech. ND and Auburn had far more "history" The only reason we have played Clemson so much is because the ACC determined it to be so. As others have pointed out, Tech was ready to drop them completely.
