The 2026 college football regular season is one-third of the way done, and Week 4 of the season brought even more chaos to the ACC.

While the Miami Hurricanes once again looked like the best team in the conference, the teams behind them are struggling to separate. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons stunned the Louisville Cardinals on the road, who were riding high after beating the SMU Mustangs the week before. It hasn't looked great, but Dabo Sweeney and the Clemson Tigers keep winning, beating the California Golden Bears Friday night on the road to extend their winning streak to three games.

The Duke Blue Devils picked up another blowout win and continue to look like a dangerous team under Manny Diaz. The Virginia Tech Hokies are still perfect, grinding

out a road win over the Boston College Eagles, despite some terrible weather. The FSU Seminoles beat the Central Arkansas Bears, but did not exactly inspire confidence in their fans.

How does all the action change our power rankings of the ACC? Here is an updated look at the ACC picture after Week 4.
