[QUOTE="CEB, post: 971970, member: 4905"] That’s the word on the street. I’m not convinced that we did it for the benefit of the league, even though some are reading it that way. They claim each school was simply asked. They took the results and did what they could. I’d guess that’s 75% of the story. ESPN also got a vote. Not that ESPN had a veto, but I fully believe they had influence on which matchups should be prioritized. VT/Miami was mentioned as one and FSU/Clem almost certainly was a focus. Maybe a couple others… who knows… Total speculation… I’m guessing that if two schools requested each other they made it happen. If only one school requested the permanent rival, it only happened if ESPN said it was a priority. Logical conclusion, we requested no one and ESPN didn’t push for us to play anyone. I have gone back and forth… part of me kinda hate not playing someone annually, but at the same time, I’m OK with it. The only reason it bothers me at all is because of the lopsided nature of scheduling some teams with 3 permanent opponents and other teams with none. I don’t see how its an advantage to take either approach, though, so I’ll just roll with it. [/QUOTE]
