Oh really? I didn't know that. I thought the ACC finally wised up to the fact that Charlotte makes a heck of a lot more sense for the CG than, say, Tampa.
I think they would be foolish to move it back to FL but that's just me. What are your sources on that anyway? Or are you just assuming because #goACC?
OOOHH I found it!
It's right here. Just take it.
This is an interesting point. We're on a steeper curve (since we're less experienced and have more opportunity to improve) so we should improve a lot more than ND over the course of the year. Just because we improve more doesn't necessarily give us better odds against them later in the year.
Look back at our win vs tOSU. I think having that element of surprise really aided us tremendously in winning that game. I don't think we would beat tOSU again with the same players later in the season after several other teams had produced film on how to attack the Bear Front.
Fuente's best chance at winning a big game this year, IMO, is the Battle at Bristol. (I don't think we'll win, but that's his best shot) I believe this because Tenn won't have much of an idea how our offense is going to look. I imagine our game against Liberty will be of little use to the Tenn Defensive coaches. Being able to jump out to an early lead (a la ECU vs us in 2014) by hitting them with stuff they haven't seen before might be just enough to get it done. I just think Tenn is too talented and too experienced to not fight back and win in that scenario. Dobbs has me seriously concerned. I think if Tenn were breaking in a new QB I'd feel better about our chances to beat them.
By the time November rolls around I expect us to look like a better, more consistent, team than we will be in September. However, I think we'll find it harder to move the ball against teams because they'll have film on how other teams defended our offense. I fear that we will lose a key player to injury (it usually happens) and we just don't have the depth to absorb key losses and keep performing at an elite level. I think ND has the edge there and I think they will be just as tough to beat in November as they would be in September. Especially if we no longer have that element of surprise.

All the rituals with none of the guilt
I don't think there will be an "ACC Network" in that there won't be a dedicated channel like the Big 10 or SEC. I think you'll see a branding from ESPN/ABC/Raycom on ACC Games.
We already have that.
Well if history is any playing us early in the season should secure them a spot in the national title game and looking to win it.
Oh yea those were great! The problem is I watched those so many times that the quality is terrible now.

Also, I thought I heard that the Richmond Professional Institute had a football team. Perhaps that was the 1932 referenced in another comment.
Their calzones aren't too bad either.
Well FL may get the ACCCG back no matter who is in the conference.
yeah that's what they thought when they brought Miami in and split them and FSU up. That worked out great for the conference. Especially with all those ACC CGs in Florida!!
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them make the same dumb mistake again. ND could really fit into either division, though. I don't know how the league schedule would be structured with a 16 team conference. I have to believe it would be addressed.

We just won't have the element of surprise against ND that we might have to make the Tenn game interesting
True. I'm just willing to bet we improve much more from Sept. to Nov than ND does, which should be a net gain for us.
Looking around quickly, Tennessee is a 14-1 favorite to win the whole damn playoff.
Ohio State +700
Alabama +700
Clemson +750
Michigan +750
Oklahoma +1400
LSU +1400
Tennessee +1400
Yikes.

# | Jalen Hudson Leaving the Hokies After Two Seasons with Buzz Williams Alexander-Walker would be a great get. Would boost our outside shooting immensely, and complement Robinson once Seth Allen moves on from the 2 spot. Ball handling still needs a little work but probably is better than Clarke's was this year already. Also would be nice to snipe him out from under Maryland.
Ok is there a garlic bread inside joke here i am missing?
I think they would put ND in the Coastal for matchup reasons. Imagine all the ACC Championship game possibilities. FSU or Clemson vs VT or ND or UNC or even Miami..
Talk about SELLOUT and a HUGE National audience for an ACC Title game. MONEY MONEY MONEY
And a beer. You forgot the beer.
I accept your challenge:
