The ACC is Florida State, Clemson and everyone else

The Big Ten has the widest divisional gap, but the ACC is the most top-heavy. Florida State and Clemson absolutely dominated everyone else, including in terms of top-100 recruits.

The entire classes for Florida State and Clemson are deep. Florida State's class ranks higher than an all-star team of all other 12 ACC teams combined, while Clemson's class is nearly as good.

	Rating
Florida State/Clemson All-Recruits Team	0.9516 - 4.6 stars
Florida State	0.9171 - 4.25 stars
Rest of ACC	0.9094 - 4.2 stars
Clemson	0.9085 - 4.2 stars

Unsurprisingly, the Seminoles and Tigers have combined to win the past five ACC Championship Games. The last time neither won the ACC Atlantic was 2008.

 

 

I created all-star recruiting classes for the top teams in each Power 5 division and for each Power 5 division as a whole, taking the average 247Sports Composite rating for the 25 best players in each group. I ranked teams by average star rating, so teams with fewer than 25 recruits were not punished for having smaller classes. I then estimated the average star rating for each composite rating.

We're also treating the Big 12 as a division; at 10 teams, it's not that much bigger than most of these divisions.
