History
Five of the schools have won national championships, but only four of the five have won national titles as members of the league. While Miami is the last member institution to win the national title in 2001, they were still members of the Big East Conference. The last school to win the national championship as a member of the ACC was Florida State in 1999. The Seminoles also won the crown in 1993. Georgia Tech won a share of the national title in 1990, Clemson won it outright in 1981 and Maryland won the national title in the league's first full season of 1953.Raiding the Big East
The league began with eight teams in 1953, but lost South Carolina in 1971. Georgia Tech joined the league in 1978. The ACC was primarily looked upon as a 'basketball-first' league until they admitted Florida State, one of the nation's most dominant football programs, in 1991. Then, in 2004 and 2005, the ACC boldly boosted their football profile by admitting three schools from the rival Big East Conference: Boston College and national powers Miami and Virginia Tech.-

Where I grew up, you only had two kinds of college football. There was the SEC & there was the ACC. No one else really mattered. :)~
