Here is my insane 2am 20 team ACC broken into 5 pods
Pod 1 - FSU, Clemson, Miami, NC State
Pod 2 - UNC, Duke, UVA, VT
Pod 3 - Cal, Stanford, BC, UCONN
Pod 4 - Pitt, Syracuse, Louisville, Wake Forest
Pod 5 - Georgia Tech, Army, Navy, Air Force
Lot of great schools and academies on this list. Notre Dame could stay independent and would want to keep playing a lot of these ACC schools. Also lots of good men’s and women’s basketball teams on this list. I put Cal and Stanford with BC and UCONN as the schools are close to major airports in NYC, Boston, or San Francisco. I put Georgia Tech with the academies since they have pretty rigorous requirements for their athletes. The old joke about BC is they think they are Harvard on Monday through Friday and Notre Dame on Saturday. So that is why I put them with Stanford and Cal so they can pretend they are Harvard and Notre Dame at the same time.
