Top 40 viewed ACC football games past 4 years

Top 10
FSU 6,  Clemson 4, ND 2, Miami 1

Top 25
FSU 13, Clemson 9, ND 4, Miami 4



Below are the Top games involving ACC teams during the regular season (ACCCG games count as regular season).

The criteria for making this list is that the games were either part of the ACC contract (so no FSU @ FLA or Pitt @ PSU for example) or were inter-conference match-ups held at neutral sites because when doing the conference showdowns (which I hopefully will have done by the end of the month) I count those games for both conferences while for example the FSU @ FLA games are only in the SEC totals while the FLA @ FSU games are only in the ACC totals.

In the meantime, since I have the ACC review complete (although I am sure there will be a few errors of either omission or in actual viewer numbers or failing to notate a game as being a neutral site game simply because there usually are a few of these errors every time I do this, but nothing that seriously impacts the overall data) I thought I would present the Top 40 from the ACC.

When I did this towards the middle of the 2016 season simply to demonstrate a point on a particular topic being discussed I did a Top 25, but with more games now I expanded it to a Top 40 and I am sure next year it will be expanded again, probably to a Top 50. I did think about going back and adding in the games that were not part of the ACC contract, but since my spreadsheets are not set up that way, I decided against it. Perhaps in the future I will add those games in as well. Interesting enough the 40th game on this list was the 25th game on that previous list. So in a year and a half, 15 games were added to the overall list.

  1. FSU is your daddy. But the acc refuses to acknowledge that.
