The ACC’s 8 vs 9 Conference Game Debate
The latest debate in college football is whether the conferences should have 8 conference games or 9 conference games.

There is much hand-wringing over the ACC-SEC staying at 8 games, but those conferences uniquely have four rivalry games between the two conferences that must be played every year. And the ACC has the 5-game Notre Dame scheduling issue to worth through. But there is an easy solution.
