I posted this on another site, but thought you might find this interesting as well...
Games like SU v Nova make the ACC a very open target year after year; adding fuel to the fire for the other 4 P5 conference fans and sports media to ridicule the ACC. Sure, other conferences have had their woes, but not like the ACC.
Number of schools with losses to 1-AA opponents (at the time a school was 1-AA) by conference since the division was created:
ACC - 11 (all except SU, Clemson and FSU)
B1G - 6 (RU, PSU, UM, IU, NW and Minnesota)
Big XII - 5 (ISU, KU, KSU, TT and TCU)
SEC - 5 (UF, USC-e, Ole Miss, MSU and Ark)
PAC - 4 (Stanford, OSU, Utah and Colorado)
Even my "mighty" Hokies have lost to VMI in the early 80s and JMU recently. Note, Tech won the ACC beating the Noles that same year they lost to JMU.
