There is a lot of schedule "push back" right now in the ACC....

1....four teams have opposed a 9 game schedule because they are tied into a yearly SEC rivalry game and also play Notre Dame every three years....and thus, the measure has failed in voting.

2....there is unhappiness that you see teams, that are not the permanent crossover, from the opposing division so seldom..example...FSU plays GT (their closest and oldest rival) once every 12 years in Tallahassee.  Clemson fans see Miami in Clemson once every 12 years and NC state hosts Duke once every 12 years.

3...going to round robin 9 team divisions is like having two separate conferences with little play between the two....that probably will not fly.

4...The reason that the ACC wanted clearance to have a CCG yet schedule the champion designation with flexibility...is that the conference was trying to attack the scheduling problems that currently exist (explore pods that allow more play between teams than the current structure).
