To get an idea as to what we have been up against over the years, here are 17 more 6-man teams from 10 other Big Four coaches during ACC history. It would be impossible to pick one 6-man team for Dean, Coach K & Roy since they have coached for a total of 93 years....so I gave each of them one 6-man team for each decade. Lots of really good teams here. It would be interesting if somebody could come up with a computer game to match these teams against each other.
