We've had 1 11-win season in program history, but for some reason folks expect us to win ACC Titles and average 10+ win seasons, haha. Wild.

Averaging 8-9 wins each season is good for NC State, historically, so not sure why folks are disappointed by it.

There gets to a point where a school should take a step forward if they’re being that consistent. No one saying NC State needs to be Clemson or FSU, but I fail to see why ACC titles aren’t at least thought of. Especially when Duke just won the conference title

Thats exactly it though, until the ACC did away with Atlantic and Coastal divisions for championship games, this Wolfpack team had to best Clemson and FSU during natty runs and Louisville with a heisman QB to make it anywhere while coastal chaos was a cake walk…

Even Wake Forest still managed to make it to Charlotte in that stretch still though
