What is the story about?
One
week after Louisville played themselves back into CFP discussion, they played themselves right back out. Let’s get to this week’s ACC power rankings:
- Miami
- Can the Canes avoid stumbling in Death Valley?
- Pitt
- Heading to Blacksburg for a battle of unbeaten teams that no one really knows about
- Wake Forest
- That’s how you bounce back from a loss, but why is the media afraid to #RankWake
- Louisville
- Just a really bad home loss. Cardinals need to win out to have CFP hopes
- SMU
- And that loss to Louisville looks worse for SMU now
- Duke
- Bye week followed by games with Georgia Tech and UNC means Duke could go trick or treating as a top 20 team
- Virginia Tech
- Survived the Nor’easter and host Pitt on Friday night. Can James Franklin avoid his usual stumble in a big spot?
- Virginia
- Big game at FSU next week as they look to stay in ACC contention
- Clemson
- Offense isn’t clicking at all, but can Dabo ruin Jim Phillips’ year by knocking off Miami?
- North Carolina
- Nothing says true love like spending a Friday night scouting high school players….or maybe scouting cheerleaders
- Florida State
- Mike Norvell’s last stand might be coming against Virginia
- California
- Should be lower but we don’t give credit for So where will JKS be playing next season?
- Syracuse
- How will the Orange respond after the bye week? Another loss and Fran Brown’s seat will be in the sauna
- Stanford
- Big first ACC win for the Cardinal. Sources tell us Andrew Luck celebrated with a quart of milk in the locker room
- NC State
- Have a ways to go to regain our trust after that Nashville debacle
- Boston College
- Can Mason McKenzie last a full season running the ball? Will he outlast Bill O’Brien?
- Georgia Tech
- Mendoza Magic might not be transferrable
