If the ACC Coastal division is known for its trademark brand of standings chaos, then the ACC Atlantic division is be equally well-known for its relative stability. Since the creation of divisions and a championship game for the ACC in 2005-06, only Florida State, Wake Forest, Boston College, Clemson have represented the Atlantic in the conference title game, and even then, Boston College has only won the Atlantic twice and Wake only once. This division has been dominated by the Fighting Purple Dabos and the Talla-nasty Tribe for most of (recorded ACC divisional) history.
That being said, the 2017 season took a bit of an interesting path to get to its predictable outcome.
