The ACC has won 56 football National Championships

B1G = 81
SEC = 59
ACC = 56
Pac 12 = 33
Big 12 = 30
Phil Kornbluit said the ACC is dying. The ACC lost Maryland! There are several schools as good or better than Maryland begging to join the ACC. Personally, I would not accept any of them. I would go for the WVU "brand" with an invitation to WVU that is effective when their 10 year contract with the Big 12 is expired. In the mean time I would divide the ACC into a 6 team division (including Notre Dame) and an 8 team division. Only divisional games count in the divisional standings. Extra conference games are scheduled to round out 8 or 9 games per team. (Except ND who has only agreed to play 5 ACC games per year).
Coastal: Notre Dame, BC, Pitt, Syracuse, VA Tech, Miami
Atlantic: FSU, GT, Clemson, UNC, NCST, Duke, Wake, UVA
The Notre Dame arrangement would only be temporary until WVU’s can join the ACC (or until Notre Dame is willing to join the ACC and share revenue just like the other teams.)
The only improvments to this plan would be for the Big 10 to take Wake Forest out of the ACC (We can hope, right? They did take Maryland!).

Uh, I count more like 23.
Per that Wikipedia article:
Miami = 9, though most while not in the ACC
FSU = 7, also mostly while not in the ACC
GT = 6,
CU = 1.
That's 23. Add in Maryland and you get 2 more, but that's kinda the point of your post...

Seems odd to count CU's 1981 but exclude Pitt's 1976

Do we not count anything that happend prior to 1981?

ND isnt joining.. they are in the NC as an independent. Why would they join a conf now?
WV isnt coming to the ACC. They were snubbed in an insulting way last time.
The ACC has no options and a crappy TV deal
The ACC is dying.

Clemson '81
Tech '90
FSU '93 & '99
We don't get credit for any of Miami's titles.
The SEC has had 6 in the last 6 years.

History is good for pride but doesn't translate directly to wallets.
