It had seemed to me there had been many more large margin losses between ACC teams in recent years, and so I quick calculated back to check, and it looks like that's not the case (or at least only slightly since expansion). But I thought I'd share the data for your enjoyment. And yes, we are the Biggest Loser.

I'm confused. Are those calendar years as opposed to by season? In 2004-05, we only had 3 ACC losses.
 
What in the world is this? What sport is this supposed to be for?

in 2011 ('10-'11, Bz's first season) we lost 15 of our 17 ACC games by 10+. We lost ACC 6 football games by 10 or more in 2011...

Regardless, this entire spreadsheet is either very poorly explained or entirely incorrect.


Edit: I see it now; you're not including the 10+ losses in the 20+ loss category...

This year we have 10-19 point losses to Duke and Clemson (2) and 20+ losses to Iona and GT (2).

In 2011-2012, we had 7 10-19 point losses (@Seton hall, @Duke, FSU, @Clemson, UNC, @NC State, @Miami) and 5 20+ point losses (@ASU, NC State, @Virginia, Clemson, Maryland-ACCT)

It's for total losses not just the ACC.

Still doesn't work.

In 2004-05, our losses were by 18 (Ill.), 8 (FSU), 1 (GT), 10 (Duke), 16 (NCSU) and 6 (WVU).

I don't know how you come up with 6 losses of 10+ in that year and 1 of 20+
 
I'm no statistician but seems like our numbers spiked around 2010?

In all seriousness, we have a legitimate shot before the end of the season for Buzz to have lost more 20+ games than all other teams did over the entire 10 year span.

Maybe if the years are sorted by start date (so 2004-05 is under 2004) and you don't count postseason, it works?

The numbers for the 2004-2005 season are under 2004.

Also 10+ actually is 11-19. Little confusing.
 
2004 means 2004-2005 season.
2012* is starred because it's currently in-progress.
10+ includes 10pt loss
20+ includes 20pt loss
Just ACC games, includes any postseason against other ACC teams.
I pulled this from ESPN and did it by eyeball, I also sorted the columns with Google spreadsheet, so something may have occurred there. Let me check.

The vice versa of what vt said is right - a 20pt loss is not also tallied in the 10pt category, I should have specified 10-19 for clarity.
"Since 2005" is called out because BC/VT/Miami were all in starting 2005-2006, but sections are sorted by Total column.
