How many times has the ACC champ made in into the Top-4 in the last 20 years? Of course the ACC champ doesn't usually make it into the Top-4 of conference champs either, but they have a better shot at that than Top-4 overall.

Edit: Actually, the numbers look fairly balanced since 1998. Each conference has gotten to double-up 2-3 times over that time from (although the old data is a little messy - see below).

SEC: 3
Big XII : 3
PAC12: 2
Big Ten : 2
ACC : 2

The Top-4 in the BCS with their current conference. This gets a little messy as we go back in time (example: Colorado & Nebraska in '01 now has nothing to do with the Big XII).
