The ACC had six interconference games in Week 5. To no surprise, the Miami Hurricanes remain the team to beat as they improved to 3-0 in conference play, and the Pittsburgh Panthers continued to keep pace right behind them as they moved to 2-0 against ACC opponents.
After a huge win at home, the Florida Seminoles were the biggest riser in the conference, and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons also moved up several spots. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the Louisville Cardinals, as they suffered their second conference loss, which dropped them quite a bit.
