Just for fun, using another arbitrary time period:

Conference records since divisional play (2005)
Va. Tech 55-17
Clemson 48-24
Fla. St. 47-25
Ga. Tech 47-25
Miami 39-33
BC 38-34
UNC 33-39
Wake 32-40
Maryland 27-45
NCSU 26-46
Virginia 26-46
Duke 15-57

Syracuse 4-4
Pitt 3-5

We got rid of Maryland, yes!

FSU and its dwarfs.

Quote:3. ACC

Top four: Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Louisville

Any league headlined by Florida State earns our respect. But the Seminoles' dominance has contributed to the idea – largely unfounded – that the ACC lacks depth. In truth, FSU merely outshines a fairly competitive conference: Clemson's superb, Duke is on the rise, Louisville adds punch and as many as five teams could conceivably take home the Coastal Division. The league still needs UNC and Miami (Fla.) to deliver, but the ACC is on the rise.

NOTE: 1. SEC, 2. Pac-12, 3. ACC, 4. B1G, 5. Big XII

ACC would move to at least #2, if Notre Dame would step up!

You mean #2, at best.
