The @theACCDN took a stab at the top 10 ACC Teams since 2000. The 2013 FSU vs the 2018 Clemson debate for the number 1 spot is a worthy one. @mattzemek compared the two back in 2019. Clemson 2016 at #3 certainly makes sense, and Clemson 2015 at #4, Clemson 2019 at #5, and Clemson …

PART III of a series Jerry LeVias played his signature role as the Southwest Conference’s first black scholarship football player throughout the 1966 season, but two years later he performed with equal valor on a stage in the belly of the beast.
