History

Historical Context

The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) expanded in 2013, adding Pittsburgh and Syracuse, which intensified competition in college football. This followed earlier expansions, including Miami and Virginia Tech in 2004, and led to a new championship structure. Florida State's 2013 victory with a 13-0 record exemplified this shift, while Georgia Tech's current 9-1 record highlights the ongoing evolution of team strategies and fan engagement.
