Hokies and ‘Canes Have a Memorable History

By: Chris Coleman | Lead Analyst and Columnist

There’s more than just a Coastal Division crown on the line this weekend. The
Hokies have a chance to become the first team to go undefeated in ACC play since
Florida State did it in 2000, and they have a chance to do it against their two
biggest rivals in back to back weeks: Miami and Virginia.

Perhaps I’m asking too much, but I really want the Hokies to finish
the regular season with an unblemished record in the ACC. They have dominated
league play since conference expansion, and about the only thing they haven’t
done in that span is have a perfect 8-0 record.

The
ACC Since Expansion
Team Wins Losses Winning
%		 Titles

Virginia Tech		 44 10 81.5% 3

Georgia Tech		 35 20 63.6% 1

Boston College		 29 18 61.7% 0

Florida State		 32 23 58.2% 1

Clemson		 31 24 56.4% 0

Miami		 30 25 54.5% 0

UNC		 25 29 46.3% 0

UVA		 24 30 44.4% 0

Maryland		 23 31 42.6% 0

Wake Forest		 23 32 41.8% 1

NC State		 21 33 38.9% 0

Duke		 6 48 11.1% 0

Despite those accomplishments, the Hokies don’t have a perfect 8-0 record. How
crazy would it be if the same team who lost to JMU in early September also found
a way to be perfect in the ACC? It might happen.
