@MattThompson87 has been tweeting the last 10 days on ACC Divisional records, scheduling scenarios and more.
You need to really check him out. Below is a tweet thread on 15 years of intra-Coastal Division games.
What can we take away from his analysis, in addition to the notes he’s made?

It took 9 years before anyone other than Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech represented the Coastal Division in the ACC Title game, but now there have been 7 different Coastal Division representatives the last 7 years with 9 straight losses to the combination of Clemson and Florida State.

“7 different Coastal Division representatives the last 7 years with 9 straight losses to the combination of Clemson and Florida State.”
So did everyone else get better, or did VT and GT simply get worse?
