Here’s a rank-order of ACC men’s basketball teams over the past five seasons (2020-21 through 2024-25) based on their ACC conference win-loss records and the combined five-year conference win percentage.

I compiled the conference records from authoritative sources (primarily Sports-Reference and verified standings sites for each season), then summed each team’s ACC wins and losses over those five seasons to compute their overall conference winning percentage. Sports Reference

Notes:

• “—” = team was not in the ACC in that season (e.g., SMU, Stanford, Cal joined by 2024-25). Sports Reference
• 2023-24 full standings came from verified public standings data. Warren Nolan
• For older seasons (e.g., 2020-21), records are from archived standings sources. Atlantic Coast Conference

🧠 Key Takeaways

• Duke has been the most consistently successful ACC team over the past five years in conference play.
• North Carolina, Clemson, and Virginia also rank strongly in sustained performance.
• Newer members like SMU, Stanford, and Cal have smaller samples; SMU’s 2024-25 season was especially strong.
• Traditional lower-tier programs (e.g., Boston College, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame) sit near the bottom in cumulative ACC win percentage.
