Option No. 4

Bowden Division: Boston College, Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Syracuse

Beamer Division: Clemson, Louisville, N.C. State, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest

Okay, this one might need a little explaining. In an effort to try and get the divisions as equal as possible, we split up the nine teams who have won a conference crown first – followed by the two teams who have made it to the conference title game and lastly the three teams who have still not played in Jacksonville, Tampa or Charlotte since the 2005 season.

With the way things are right now in the ACC, this would be an even split of talent as FSU football would be facing off with the Hurricanes ever year as well as the Tar Heels, who had a down year but should be back, while the Tigers would be battling it out with the Hokies and Wolfpack each season for the right to make it to Charlotte.
