Now that folks are throwing out options for 3 geographic PODS that play each other twice I have an option that looks good for every school except N.C. State. There are 4 schools down south and N.C. State is the most geographically southern Carolina school. The others work out very well from a geographic and rivalry standpoint.
Pod 1 : Notre Dame, Louisville, Syracuse, B.C. and Pitt
Pod 2: Virginia, Virginia Tech, UNC, Wake and Duke
Pod 3: Clemson, Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech and N.C. State.
Perhaps each team could have one additional ACC team that they pick as a rivalry that would allow N.C., State to pick up UNC for a game and one more game outside the conference like Florida for FSU for example.The idea behind the Pod business is to save a lot of money and reduce the players exposure to flights, hotels, etc. Admittedly Pod 3 is absolutely loaded. Anyone else want to take a shot?
