How many more ACC titles will Clemson win before they lose one (or don't make the CG)?

It could easily be ten MORE.  I wonder what the longest dominance in any conference has been, even allowing for splits back in the day.

It could easily be ten MORE.  I wonder what the longest dominance in any conference has been, even allowing for splits back in the day.
Florida State won nine straight (1992-2000, their first nine years in the ACC), 11 of 12 (all but 2001 from 1992-2003), and 12 of 14 (all but 2001 and 2004 from 1992-2005).  Additionally, the two years that they didn't win it they finished second at 6-2 so it wasn't like they were completely out of the running.  

Swinney won his first in his fourth year (2011) but that was his only in his first seven years (2008-2014).  He also won a Division Championship in 2009 but lost the ACCCG (to GaTech) and tied for the division championship in 2012 but lost the tiebreaker to FSU.  

Swinney's Clemson Tigers have now won five straight ACC Championships (2015-2019) and they have only lost two ACC games in those five years (Pitt by a point at home in 2016, Cuse by a FG on the road in 2017).

How would it look if we were to eliminate asterisks (include all vacated wins)?
There is just no way I'm doing this.  I think it would help USC the most since a ton of PC's wins are eliminated.  It would help tOSU somewhat and Bama somewhat as well.

I don't know if this is the longest, but Oklahoma finished 1st or tied for 1st in the Big 7/Big 8 from 1946 through 1959.  14 straight years.  If you want undisputed conference championships, cut off 1946-47 and it's 12 straight.

Yep.

You can sure flip that for the '90s.

SEC:  5 straight, Alabama (71-75)
PAC:  4 straight, USC (66-69)...also USC had 5 straight, but 2 shared and maybe one vacated under Carroll, but that's messy
B10:  3 staight, Ohio St's current 3-year stretch is best, for outright conference titles.  They had 5 in a row, but 3 shared.  OSU and UM shared it so many times, it screws up anyone having a long streak, outright.
SWC:  5 straight, Texas (69-73)
ACC:  5 straight, Clemson (current) - during FSU's dominant start to ACC play, they never had more than 3 straight outright titles.
Big East:  3 straight, Miami (00-02)
Big 8:  12 straight, Oklahoma (48-59), otherwise 4 straight, and OU/Nebraska are like OSU/UM - 2 programs just duking it out at the top, for decades
Big XII:  5 straight, Oklahoma (current) - OU has the longest streak in 2 conferences!

OSU won at least a share of the Big Ten Title from 2005-2010. Six straight.
