  &lt;p&gt;Conference expansions has been a hot topic as of late and I was reading somewhere that suggested the expansion could turn into conference realignments. This is how the ACC looked from a football standpoint:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;ACC North&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;ACC South&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Boston College&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Clemson&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Maryland&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Duke&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pittsburgh&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Florida State&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Rutgers&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Georgia Tech&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Syracuse&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Miami&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Virginia&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;North Carolina&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Virginia Tech&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;N.C. State&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;West Virginia&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Wake Forest&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this took place I guess the scheduling would consist of everyone playing each other in their division then either rotating or having a rival to face in the opposing side. I personally don't like the idea of the whole &quot;mega-conference&quot; thing and would rather keep a 12-team conference but both have their pros and cons. I just wanted to know what you guys think about it.&lt;/p&gt;
