Comments: Virginia just broke the tie with the PAC-12 so the ACC is now the conference whose schools have the best historical record. The ACC is tied with the Pac -12 and the Big Ten with the most schools who have won a national title with 6 but it has four schools who have won more than one title. Nobody else has more than two.
The most over-rated conference is the Big 12, which had just two schools who have won 5 titles and only two of them in the last 66 years.
Our conference is the creme-de-la-creme. Now we have to join the cream of the conference.
