West Virginia - Virginia Tech
Virginia - Maryland
Miami - Notre Dame :heh:

Had the ACC kept Maryland and added WVU during the last realignment , ACC would be a lot more interesting in that region of

WVU
UVA
VT
Maryland
Pitt
BC
SU

ACC ALMOST had an even better group of rival games old and new. Would have had 4 old ones just by adding WVU.

I don't think Va Tech joins the ACC if WVU had. From what I have heard from friends and family that attended Va Tech, the hatred for WVU runs that deep that the AD said they would never play @ WVU again.

Arkansas - A&M was good for awhile too. Had a stretch in the 80s where that was the game for the Cotton Bowl in the old Southwest

Of course I try to find a link and instead find that the two schools have a Home and Home schedule for 2021 and 2022. It does say that Va Tech was not interested in a Home and Home two paragraphs before that though.

Missouri vs Kansas


Wait we have to care before it can be a rivalry correct? Guess that game doesn't count.

They play again now in the SEC West. Not that I would call it good.

I guess gotta give credit to Texas for restarting one.
