[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 393252"] I know. I get all that. Its tough. But maybe think of it this way. We don't get 8 home games and 0 road games. Why? Because over literally thousands and thousands of games, we DO have enough data (more than just Georgia Tech's 10 year data sample) to quantify an advantage. In terms of bye weeks and weak opponents, we in our brains know its not equitable, but we don't have enough data to quantify it over a large thousand+ game sample set. Here is where I am - I don't really care if we can ever quantify it. But just like we don't get 8 home games, we also don't get tons of bye weeks. So, the league needs to STOP scheduling craziness where there would be an appearance of bias. If Virginia is literally the ONLY team out of 15 in the ACC who doesn't play an ACC game on 11/10, then with all the long and sordid history, maybe not schedule them against Georgia Tech on 11/17. Or leave Georgia Tech out for a minute - when you have a situation like that, just make sure the SAME TEAM EVERY YEAR doesn't get stuck with such an opponent. It may not be bias against Georgia Tech at all. But the fact this garbage happens EVERY YEAR (for example, we have twice as many post bye week opponents as the average again) is at the very least incompetence in the ACC office. [/QUOTE]
