ACC Football is good and it’s entertaining, but let’s face it ... some of the best football rivalries in the ACC have been in the South: Florida State vs. Miami, FSU vs. Clemson, Clemson vs. Georgia Tech, etc. to name a few.
Virginia Tech added a little spice when it joined, bringing along the VT vs. Miami rivalry and quickly starting a rivalry with Georgia Tech. However, there are some other rivalries the ACC needs to happen to ensure fan interest throughout the entire footprint - not just in the Deep South.
Boston College vs. Syracuse
These are two traditional Eastern football independents who now happen to be in the same division (Atlantic) of the ACC.
