Option No. 1

East Division: Boston College, Duke, Miami, North Carolina, N.C. State, Syracuse, Virginia

West Division: Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest

The Seminoles would get rid of long trips to Boston and Syracuse that happens once a year and get a chance to go back to playing in Atlanta on a consistent basis, so this would be one of the better options for the penny pinchers in the conference as long as you don’t count Miami’s trips to the northeast that would replace what the Noles have been doing for the last five seasons.

On the other side, you are keeping the best teams in the current Atlantic Division – including FSU football, and making it even tougher by getting a Virginia Tech team over for yearly meetings. At this point, you would just be giving the Miami / N.C. State winner a ticket to Charlotte ever season while the new version of the Atlantic would become even more of a slaughterfest.

Cross Division Games: Boston College vs. Pittsburgh, Duke vs. Wake Forest, Miami vs. Florida State, North Carolina vs. Georgia Tech, N.C. State vs. Clemson, Syracuse vs. Louisville, Virginia vs. Virginia Tech
