Wow the Clemson current winning streaks is astonishing against the Atlantic division outside of Syracuse. This is 1990s Florida State type stuff.

I didn’t realize NC State has the same record against Clemson as Virginia does against Virginia Tech (1-14). The Wolfpack shouldn’t have a losing record against every divisional opponent except Syracuse. That’s one ugly mark.

ACC Title Game trips (ACC Titles)

Clemson 7 (6; 2011, 2015-2019)
FSU 5 (4; 2005, 2012-2014)
BC 2
Wake 1 (1; 2006)

The last time the Atlantic was represented by someone other Clemson or FSU was 2008 without a loss since 2010. That’s no surprise since Clemson and Florida State also have 3 of the last 7 national titles with 6 straight playoff appearances between the two.
