Option No. 2

North Division: Boston College, Duke, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech

South Division: Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest

If you are one of those who is all about saving a few bucks, this is going to be the winner as the Seminoles would never have to travel north of the state of North Carolina more than once in a given season depending on who there are playing in the cross divisional setup – this would be the divisional set up that most of the other power conferences use to keep the teams close together.

It would also be one of the most balanced options as both Clemson and FSU football get rid of playing Louisville and don’t have to worry about Virginia Tech on a yearly basis. It would also remove the ‘Canes as a cross divisional rival and allow the Noles to see more of the current Coastal Division teams more often.

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