counting ND games as conference games?

I agree, there may be a movement to lump ND in that last group as part of ND's scheduling arrangement. ND should obviously insist on being with the strongest teams if they need ND's buy-in. But Jack will bend over and do whatever they want to preserve good graces that the other ADs will not reciprocate. And there's a major competitive balance issue in determining champions if Clemson-Miami-FSU are regularly together. Unless they go to a four-team conference championship of pod winners.

Ga. Tech can go anywhere, though. They have as much in common with Va. and Va. Tech as anyone else. I'd guess they go there. Louisville can also go anywhere, including with the former Big East teams.

Here's one random guy's proposal

Only the North Carolina schools would really be a pod. Everyone else would have some mixing and matching.

That doesn't make any sense though

You would have to go with pods or each school would have more than 3 annual opponents, right?

If you go with pods with 14 members, some schools would have more than three annual opponents, or alternatively, some schools would have less than three annual opponents.
