NET Rankings are from – https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2022/net
15. Louisville (0-8) NET Ranking 361
Last Week: 15
Could Louisville be the worst ACC team we’ve seen this century? There are TWO teams with a worse NET ranking. TWO!
14. Florida State (1-9, 0-1) NET Ranking 293
Last Week: 14
Florida State is the ACC’s worst nightmare. Everything about their resume is dreadful, but they are playing well enough to pull an upset along the way.
13. Boston College (5-5, 0-1) NET Ranking 198
Last Week: 12
Boston College is the only team to beat Cornell. I guess that’s something.
12. Georgia Tech (6-3, 0-0) NET Ranking 133
Last Week : 11
Georgia Tech has won back to back games including rival Georgia with a nice late comeback.
11. Syracuse (5-4, 1-0) NET Ranking 181
Last week: 13
Syracuse has been awful this year, but they weren’t at Notre Dame. Let’s see if they can build on it.
10. Notre Dame (6-2, 0-1) NET Ranking 143
Last Week: 7
Notre Dame crushed a depleted Michigan State team, but losing to Syracuse at home gave it all back.
9. Pitt (6-3, 1-0) NET Ranking 80
Last week: 10
Where did Pitt come up with great performances at Northwestern and NC State? Their 5 game winning streak could easily grow with Vanderbilt and Sacred Heart this week.

8. Wake Forest (7-2, 0-1) NET Ranking 86
Last Week: 8
Wake Forest’s win at Wisconsin is going to resonate all year, but backing it up with a win Clemson proved too much. A game with 7-1 LSU Saturday is big.
7. Clemson (7-2, 1-0) NET Ranking 88
Last Week: 9
Clemson is suddenly a team to watch after this past week beating Penn State and Wake Forest.
6. North Carolina (5-4, 0-1) NET Ranking 39
Last Week: 3
North Carolina doesn’t have to hit the panic button, but we’re getting close. The chemistry of this talented team is all messed up right now.
5. NC State (8-2, 0-1) NET Ranking 55
Last Week: 2
NC State was just cruising along until they hit red-hot Pittsburgh at home… not good.
4. Virginia Tech (8-1, 1-0) NET Ranking 41
Last Week: 6
Virginia Tech had a great home week knocking off Minnesota and UNC. Dayton and Oklahoma State are games the Hokies need to aid that OOC resume.
3. Miami (8-1, 1-0) NET Ranking 47
Last Week: 5
The Canes just have the one blemish against Maryland on their resume. I like their chances to be 11-1 before they play VIrginia in a couple of weeks.
2. Duke (9-2, 1-0) NET Ranking 17
Last Week: 4
Duke is a team that is starting to grow up. If I am right, they’ll beat a good Iowa team this week, and I was.
1. Virginia (8-0, 1-0) NET Ranking 9
Last Week: 1
Virginia struggled a bit with FSU, but make no mistake the Hoos are as good as anyone in college basketball. James Madison was a test this week.
