I can't remember where my original numbers came from, how far back it went in time, or how it determined who and when was someone in a conference but I found a site that seems to outline it nicely. And it's important to note it lists regular season games vs bowl games, which is important because those games were purposefully scheduled.
The gist, for me, is Miami has played way more games against BIG10 opponents, especially in recent years. According to this, Clemson hasn't played a regular season game against a BIG10 opponent ever. FSU hasn't played one since the 90's. It really does showcase that Miami doesn't act like a traditional Southern school as far as markets and scheduling desires go. It's why I think the BIG10 is a much better landing spot. Those games are being scheduled for a reason.
A couple other things I thought was interesting:
-The teams from the ACC, since 2003, that are consistently playing BIG10 teams are UVA, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Miami, Va Tech, BC, and UNC. Some of those teams are understandable, given where they're located, but I find it interesting that UVA and the Carolina teams are on there. UVA has actually played the most games out of any ACC team in the last 20 years (aside from Duke v NW rivalry). I think that's another market that doesn't necessarily operate like a traditional Southern team
-Although Miami hasn't played the most games, they're the only team that has played all the heavy weight BIG10 programs (Ohio St, Michigan St, Penn St, Nebraska)
