[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 877528, member: 1776"] FWIW, Mountain West has also said it will do away with divisions starting in 2023. I do think if the ACC moves away from divisions that will likely make it more difficult for GT to make the Conference Championship going forward. Right now GT plays in arguably the weakest P5 division in college football. If you do away with divisions you are no longer competing just against those teams for a conference championship slot. You are now competing against 13 teams to be one of the top 2. If GT continues to have Clemson as a permanent rival you could argue that GT's schedule becomes marginally harder overall as GT will have more games against the perceived tougher former Atlantic teams and fewer against the 'weaker' Coastal teams. Now if Clemson is not a permanent rival the schedule would probably be slightly easier. But either way I think the overall odds of making the championship game will be reduced. If you assume GT is not the best program in conference, then you are no longer competing against 6 teams for a spot, you are competing against 12 teams for a spot. [/QUOTE]
