All is not lost. Here's how we can still win the coastal:

Nah nah honey I'm good, I could have another but I probably should not.

What we need, is a diversion.

Riders of Rohan, fell deeds awake!! The Battle for Middle Earth, has begun!

I thought Miami won the Coastal that year and then invited us to take their place in the ACCCG because they cheat and wanted to apologize?

GT, UNC, and Miami all tied at 5-3. UNC had the best divisional record and would have gone had they not been caught cheating. So it fell to Miami-GT, with Miami holding the head to head win. But they were about to get caught cheating and wanted to pay the penalty up front. So we went, still division winners as there is no tie break for divisional winner.

The we lost and became bowl ineligible at 6-7. We petitioned the NCAA to take mercy on us. They agreed to extend our bowl streak so that we could shake Kiffin in El Paso. It was a win win for everyone not named Lane.

Or just rearrange the winning conditions so the ACCCG is attended by the division round robin winner and not the team with the highest total wins in division.

This. Dump the cross division crap and only count division games. Then let the teams schedule a home-home series with whoever they want on the other side. If we never play UL, BC, or Syr I couldn't care less.

Then any cross-division games will be meaningless for winning the conference. Not sure if I want that.

Those games were meaningless when the divisions were named the 'ACC' and the 'Big East'. They can go back to being meaningless.

I would be fine with round-robin pseudo-conferences if the ACC also splits into North/South.

Or the ACC could do something weird with scheduling where the second cross-division game offsets the rankings of the constant opponent. If WF finishes last in the Atlantic, then Duke gets FSU who finished first in the Atlantic. Clemson finished second IIRC, so we get the second-to-last team, Syracuse, I think? I'm talking out of my ass now, but I'd throw it out there.
