Ode to the ACC Coastal,

the soon-to-be lamented ACC Coastal Division:

Perfect. This sucks. I've loved being in this division. Pitt couldn't have landed in a more perfect spot. Rivalries were starting to form.

7 different champs in 7 years. 8 in 8 if you want to count ND in the Coastal-less Covid year.

Hate the no-division setup. Hate that a 6-2 team who finishes 2nd behind 8-0 Clemson will get to play for a championship even though they didn't win a championship in the regular season.

with who?

I liked the division set up as well. It gives every school a chance at building competition and rivalry

The best thing for Pitt would have been keeping the divisions and going to 9 games. Probably not the best for the ACC though. oh well.

I guess you don’t like the ACC basketball tournament, either, since 2 teams that didn’t win championships can play for the title.

The divisions aren't good for TV. That's why they're gone. This will be better for everyone in the long run.

Possibly. There are some drawbacks as well. I'm not thrilled with the idea watching tOSU and Michigan playing in back to back weeks to close out the season on a fairly regular basis. Then there would probably still be the possibility of a 3rd meeting in the playoffs.

Honestly it was the best division in college football, you couldn’t have better parody, all teams are decent no Out and out scrubs like the big 10. Really love the coastal, loved going to Duke or unc each year, loved the Miami trip every 2 years VT and UVA were becoming rivalries, I definitely enjoyed it

I agree stupid

TV people would love that given they got 17 million viewers for the first game. But that's going to happen when you only have two or three good teams.

I do like it because its a tournament. If the ACC had a football tournament, I'd be fine with it. In fact, I suggested a 4 team ACC football tournament. 12th game played as semifinal during Thanksgiving weekend
