Miami-LSU
Canes fans still remember the 40-3 shellacking laid on them last time they played. And the whipping their players took afterwards as well.

This is an absurd notion. I have no interest in LSU playing an ACC team annually. I would much rather LSU play an assortment of Big Ten and PAC 12 teams and even Big 12 teams. I understand why Carolina, Florida, and Georgia play their ACC rivals. But do not get my Tigers into some deal where we can only play a big OOC game against Wake Forest or UVA or Syracuse or some other loser ACC program.

For a great game Florida State.
For an easy win Wake Forest or N.C. State

Ole Miss vs. UVA. Fanbases are very similar. There are a ton of Rebs in the DC area who would make the trip. Charlottesville is a great college town. Not on the level of Athens, but very close.

Virginia--nice road trip and, for now, most likely an easy win (although that could change if their recruiting continues to improve)

Exactly. You get all the credit with less risk.

Virginia. A Jeffersonian university east of the Mississippi, and the first university in Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase territory. Both schools play homage to the great Thomas Jefferson. 
Otherwise, UNC.

Outside of FSU, Clemson, Miami, and VT, the ACC doesn't have anybody I want to play. I don't think the rest of the SEC should be forced to schedule the 10 other crap ACC schools.

Why don't Vanderbilt and Wake Forest play every year anymore?
The SEC and ACC now require UK and Louisville to play their game at the end of the year. This ended the UK/UT end-of-year game. Now, UT and Vandy play at the end of the season. WF was left out in the cold.

If we have to, I'd rather not have an annual opponent and rotate them

This was created to build the last weekend of the year into rivalry weekend. Personally, I'd like Vandy-Duke. We've been there and done that with Wake.

I agree but if we had to, GT would make the most sense for Auburn. Rivalry and what not.

You do realize there are quite a few good recruits in Pittsburgh, North Carolina and Virginia don't you?
The exposure in those areas alone would be worth it.
On top of that, the ACC and SEC tv rights are damn near owned lock, stock, and barrel by ESPN while the Pac 12, Big 12, and Big 10 all have heavy investments from FOX. The Big 10 tv deal is also expires in 2016 and FOX will go hard after it to fully own the Big 10.
The ACC is also exploring its own TV network and ESPN may just have to go forward with that to protect their investment from any future defections to the Big 10.
ESPN may look at ACC/SEC annual match ups (be it fixed or rotating) as a way to enhance their properties value. Hell, this may even be how ESPN can force the SECN into more homes in states with no SEC team.
If you don't think ESPN is going to have a heavy influence on scheduling in the future you will be sorely disappointed.

Meh, this does not interest me. If I was choosing I would choose FSU or Miami for the recruiting.
Posted on 2/10/14 at 12:32 pm to BAP2001
ill say miami because it would be easy to get tickets

No doubt. That is why it'll never happen. The SEC West teams won't go for it.
But if I had to choose, I'd go with Miami for recruiting purposes. Well UNC might be a good team to play since NC seems to be a budding state population wise, and it might be smart for recruiting purposes at some point in the future.
But I definitely don't want to be stuck having to play one ACC a year that we have no ties with. That would suck.

Outside of the 4 that already exist I really hope this is the way they go. Use the prior 3-5 years records as the pecking order for each conference, do a home/away, then recalculate and repeat. This coupled with a 9 game conference slate and maybe we can get down to one in-state directional school and get rid of the Furman's.
