We’ve sucked since 2004/5. So that’s 15+ years of trash... who do you think replaces us at the top of this chart during that time? Duke? UNC? VT? Pittsburgh? The Coastal has been trash since EVER.
It's pretty crazy how much churn there has been in the ACC Coastal since its formation:
2005: Virginia Tech (7-1) Miami goes 6-2
2006: Georgia Tech (7-1) Miami goes 3-5
2007: Virginia Tech (7-1) Miami goes 2-6
2008: Virginia Tech (5-3) Miami goes 4-4
2009: Georgia Tech (7-1) Miami goes 5-3
2010: Virginia Tech (8-0) Miami goes 5-3
2011: Virginia Tech (7-1) Miami goes 3-5
2012: North Carolina (5-3) Miami goes 5-3 and would technically win the division but forfeits due to NCAA investigation
2013: Duke (6-2) Miami goes 5-3
2014: Georgia Tech (6-2) Miami goes 3-5
2015: North Carolina (8-0) Miami goes 5-3
2016: Virginia Tech (6-2) Miami goes 5-3
2017: Miami (7-1)
2018: Pitt (6-2) Miami goes 4-4
2019: Virginia (5-3) Miami goes 4-4
Beginning in 2012, every year has seen a new champion emerge. Every year has seen someone pop up with an unexpectedly strong conference record, while Miami loses games that they should not against lesser ACC opponents.
Meanwhile in the Atlantic division, Clemson and Florida State have dominated the group for the last eleven years.
2005: Florida State (5-3)
2006: Wake Forest (6-2)
2007: Boston College (6-2)
2008: Boston College (5-3)
2009: Clemson (6-2)
2010: Florida State (6-2)
2011: Clemson (6-2)
2012: Florida State (7-1)
2013: Florida State (8-0)
2014: Florida State (8-0)
