FSU football will be entering their 14th season in a loaded Atlantic Division – so here are some division options that would be better for everyone.

At the risk of offending anyone who is a fan or graduate of the schools currently playing in the ACC’s Coastal Division, there is no doubt that the Atlantic Division is by far the more dominant won in football. Between FSU football and Clemson, the division has won the last seven conference crowns and nine of the 13 overall since breaking into two groups.

Last season, the Clemson Tigers ended up destroying the best the coastal had to offer when they smoked the Miami Hurricanes by 35 points – and it wasn’t really even that close. It isn’t to harsh to say that, at this moment, the ACC is being held on by half of one division when it comes to being the best of the best.

So, what are some ways that you could fix such a thing? How do you make the ACC more balanced for FSU football and the other 13 members schools playing the sport? Here are the four best options that the powers in the ACC should take a look at if they wanted to clean things up.
