ACC CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORICAL NOTES
The inaugural game was played in 2005 with Virginia Tech entering the game as a two-touchdown favorite against Florida State. Things didn't exactly go according to play for Frank Beamer and the Hokies, as the Seminoles paid off handsomely with a 27-22 outright victory. The following season, the underdog came through again, with Wake Forest winning an ugly 9-6 slugfest.
From 2007-2010, the favorite reigned supreme, with Virginia Tech claiming the title in three of those four games. The 'over' also connected from 2008 through 2010, but the total has been split down the middle in eight championship games to date. The same holds true for the favorite and underdog, with each covering four times.
Since the inception of the championship game format, the Atlantic Division champion has nine titles, and the Coastal Division champion has five titles. Eleven different ACC teams have made an appearance in the championship game, with Louisville, North Carolina State, and Syracusenever appearing in the big game.
Clemson (6), Florida State (4), Virginia Tech (3) are the only schools to have multiple championships, while FSU (2012-14) and Clemson (2015-19) are the only winners in three or more consecutive seasons.
After losing in the regular season matchup in overtime, Clemson picked up revenge on Notre Dame in a resounding 34-10 blowout to pick up a sixth consecutive ACC championship.
Pittsburgh was making its second-ever showing in the ACC title game, and the Panthers took home the hardware with a win over Wake Forest, 45-21. Favorites continue to hum in the ACC title game, going 15-1 ATS across the past 16 installments.
