Which ACC schools have never won a national championship in football?

While Clemson has been the pride and joy of the Atlantic Coast Conference over the past few seasons, they aren’t the only team to claim national championships. Six teams from the current makeup of the ACC have NCAA football titles, leaving eight teams without.

This season, teams like Pitt, Miami and Clemson are all hoping to find their ways back to the top of the college football world. But first, let’s take a look back at those teams that have yet to hoist the trophy and those that have.
